I am not a victim of others, but rather a victim of my own expectations, choices, and dishonesty. When I expect others to be what I want and not who they are, when they fail to meet my expectations, I am hurt. When my choices are based on self-centerdness, I find I am lonely and distrustful. I gain confidence in myself, however, when I practice honesty in all my affairs. When I search my motives and am honest and trusting I am aware of the capacity for harm in situations and can avoid those that are harmful.
Just let it sink in. Get rid of them and you'll be happy. You'll find things that make you feel so good inside. Letting go of expectations is freeing you from yourself. Because you hold yourself down.
