Living up to expectations

Expectations. Life is full of it. You set expectations for yourself, your loved ones, your friends and yes, perhaps even your ever adorable four legged furry loyal friend.

The difference is the level of expectation varies to different indivuals.
Set the expectation too high, be ready to be dissapointed.
Set it too low, you'd be insulting yourself by the lack of faith you have in yourself.

Vice versa, this also applies as to other people as they also have expectations for you to live up to. After you managed to live up to that expectation, they expect even more from you. The vicious chain just continues... leaving you feeling tired and totally consumed by the fear of making people lose the faith they had built in you.

You fear to dissapoint them
By doing so you feel so useless,so unrealiable.
However this is secondary to dissapointing ourselves.

How can it happen when you feel dissapointed with yourself when people feel quite happy enough with what you did?
