Let Down

[Corleone]

Have you ever been let down? I'm sure in one way or the other we've all been let down from time to time, or should I say, disappointed in something or someone.



When's the last time you were disappointed? How did you deal with it?



Personally, I was let down by a couple good friends yesterday. Without going into much detail, I'll sum up how I feel. It seems like I'm always there for them, but it seems like when I need them the most, they're nowhere to be found.

Not often, I can't say I remember the last time.

When's the last time you were disappointed? How did you deal with it?

Life is full of disappointments. They are thrown at us so we can learn from them. I deal with it head on figuring out why it happened and how to correct it in the future. I don't rely on anyone but MYSELF to be there to assist me through it. Friends can't be there 24/7 and quite frankly, it's me dealing with the disappointment not them. I've learned a long time ago that things happen for a reason. Just have to figure out the reason and go from there. Bad days don't get me down as I find them a challenge. Without a challenge, how boring life would be.

I always get disappointed when I invite someone to do something and they aren't available or don't want to go. Happened yesterday.



Besides petty stuff like that, I applied for a supervisor job somewhere else and I didnt even make it past the 1st 5-minute pre-screening interview.



How do I deal with it? I dwell on it for a little bit and then try to get my mind off it when I realize there is no point dwelling on something I can't change.

Same here!



Also, I tend to expect the worst, then you can never really be disappointed. It's a pretty pessimistic way to look at things, but it means that there's the odd occasion where I'm surprised by how great people can be.
