Disappointments

I always thought that disappointments only come to people that have high expectations. Basically you expect something that might be too elevated of a standard for others and when they are not able to achieve that standard, you get the "trout" smack on the face.

Therefore, I have pretty much trained myself to always expect the worst in order to never be disappointed. This way I am always on the safe side and I don't expect regular people in my life to treat me a certain way cos they are just not important. This also means that the constant people in my life, have, with time and interaction, raised the bar and have made me get used to a certain level of treatment.

So why do they suddenly act funny and kick in with the mean-ness and two-faced-ness?? Don't they know that I know them too well for them to try something that they have done to OTHER PEOPLE that I know they don't like on me?? I mean come on. Try to be a little more original or discreet. That's a kick below the belt. Totally uncalled for. What have I done that required this kind of treatment in return??
