Is this justified? It is only natural that people have some expectations from others close to them.But where does one draw the line? When it goes beyond a certain limit ,this can lead to a lot of unhappiness and the relationship can suffer...

It is not right to over expect from your close ones. Though its natural, expectations to some extent never die in a relation. But one should not expect too much as it mostly leads to disturbances in the bond. :dry:
There is no right to expect something from our closed one...


Theoritically we should not expect anything from anyone but it never happens as we are human beings. :)

But I would say its better not to expect things from others as we get hurt when those things don't get fulfilled. :)

Expectations are okay but these should not be unreasonable and not be very strong. even if some expectation is not satisfied, this should not lead to frustration and anger.

But many of the times not fullfilling of the expectations lead to frustration. Most of the people expect too much from their owns.I always helped one of my friend in many ways but once he asked me some money which I could not lend him and the impact of it was so big that he broke friendship with me.Even I also was surprised to see his reaction but I never tried to be friendly with him after that incident as I thought its OK not to have a friend like him. :)

When expectations are broken eventually its natural to get upset or angry. :dry: I think being practical in life can be of great help. :)
keeping no expectations on others will increase our expectation, when others wont reach our expectations or listen to them then we feel disappointed. So its good to be not expecting anything or not keeping on others

Then may be expecting from others but not getting frustrated if they are not fulfilled is a better option. :laugh:
I have never expected anything from anyone and that has helped me in life a good life.
sanjeev what you have said has a point, we can expect anything from others, but if it does not happens we should not feel bad.

Think harder you will come to know that you have expected many things from your parents. :woohoo:
expecting things from parents is not a big thing. because from childhood whatever we expected from them, they are interested to fulfill them so we expected. But now we cannot expect things from tehm because tehre is a posibility of disappointment
Expectations are common to every one who is very close to us as we know their character.
Now a days we should not keep any expectation from our near and dear ones.It would be worthless to expect something from others.

Those who can't fulfill our expectations are not our dear ones.I don't consider them my dear ones though it depends on what we expect from others we should make it clear that all our expectations are not always get fulfilled and for those instances we should not feel bad. :)

EVen if once they have met your expectations, the present lifestyle, career and other things for survival will make them only think about themselves.. so obviously wont keep your expectations....

Yes with the present lifestyle we are living we should not expect more from others as these days people don't find time for themselves how can we expect them to think about someone else. :blink:

There are people who still go all out to help others even at their own cost. Maybe they later suffer due to their helping nature but this world is still not empty with such people. Cheers.
If your family relatives lives near your house or in the same town, then there would lot of expectations from you.
Ronark, expectations will be many types, A father have more expectation from his son that is , his son should study well and get good job and be a support to him. Parents keep expectations from their daughter to be well mannered in the society and get marry on their hands. A teacher expects from students should get more marks and get a good fame to her and school. Like this every one will have some expectation from others.
