Unfulfilled Expectations
Unfulfilled expectations occur when a person anticipates a certain outcome or result, but the reality does not meet those hopes. This can happen in various aspects of life, such as relationships, work, or personal goals. When expectations are not met, it can lead to feelings of disappointment, frustration, or sadness.
These unmet expectations can stem from unrealistic goals or miscommunication. For example, in a workplace, an employee may expect a promotion after completing a project, but if management has different criteria, the employee may feel let down. Understanding and managing expectations can help mitigate these feelings.
