Mr. Eyes leads the way here….
On our way to the never-sleeping town of “Expectations and Impressions”.

This is a town where our “eyes look” at something one time
And within no seconds, we have formed an impression of this something we have looked at, a few seconds back.
A few fleeting moments later, our brain now starts having all these small tiny expectations of what is to come next, isn’t it?

Do you agree with the way “business usually happens” in this never-sleeping town?
Is there a way we can actually lower our expectations? Which would consequentially mean that we are going to be less impressed, as time goes by?

How that whole process comes about of having expectations is quite long and detailed.
I beg that we discuss it, sometime in the future, alright?
Please do not get me wrong; expectations are good and so, is having expectations.
When do we get to draw the line on them, though?
The same is the same for impressions; who is not human enough to be impressed by something?
Impressions are good and so is being impressed.
When do we get to draw the line on them, though?

The article was great!
😍😍👍👍
This is a great thought, I feel expectations and impressions both are fine but one just need to learn to draw a line. Loved this article. Thanks for sharing!
👍👍😍😍
Having expectations are good but setting high expectations sometimes hurts our feelings. I”d keep my expectations low for anything
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍👍
I love how you use Kanji Characters in this article. The first kanji is read as Yosou and 2nd one is Kansou. In Japanese culture, Kansou (reflection) is much more important than yosou
👏🏿 oohhh….okay!
As for me, it depends on the situation when you should lower your expectations and when you shouldn’t. And also we have to consider our knowledge, abilities while expecting more from life and people.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
I would have to say it depends on the circumstance. I think it’s okay to have either high or low expectations but it would depend on the situation so I would gauge it that way. Otherwise, I feel that you would be setting yourself up for disappointment. And sometimes for a nice surprise! Again, depends on situation.

When we think about expectations we really need to reflect on if the expectations are reasonable and logical. We also need to think about this when we put expectations on others.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I think it depends on the situation and who and what are the factors around that said situation. It’s indeed good to have expectations but not too high for it to have a significant backlash when it doesn’t meet you.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
This is definitely a slippery slope! We need to keep our expectations & impressions in check so we are not disappointed
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I reckon it would be a case-to-case scenario. But of course, we might not use both together or it will bring a different, unfavorable result.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I love the feeling of being pleasantly surprised by something just because I had low or zero expectations from it. It’s a very liberating feeling.
😍😍 yyyeeeaaahhhhh!
I’ve learned not to set my expectations high of people. That way i wont get disappointed when they dont come through.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
I tend to lower my expectations to protect myself from disappoint. It is not about settling for something less but I just believe that the less we expect, the more happier and grateful we are.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
I find that expectations are very hard to meet. So many people want more than what they get and it just leads to frustration.
😩😩
Expectations are a problem when they cloud our judgment. Great points to think through.
