Managing disappointment: why we get disappointed Disappointment is one of the enemies of our well-being. What is disappointment? Why do we get disappointed? Disappointment always comes from an illusion. We have different types of disappointment: disappointment in ourselves, disappointment in others and disappointment in life. *Disappointment in ourselves: what does it mean? Being disappointed in ourselves means having a great illusion of the ideal self, or how we should be, an ideal self that should adhere to an image of perfection. But when the ideal self clashes with the real self, disappointment in ourselves arises. **Disappointment in others: comes from the expectations, demands and projections that we make on others. We as human beings are unpredictable and changeable and therefore it is impossible not to fall into inconsistency, determined by the natural change that accompanies the flow of life. ***Disappointment in life: the illusion is that things can never happen to us, the expectation of always having what we desire. It comes from the rigidity of remaining anchored to our illusions. We are closed. What to do? Live life moment by moment, learning to distinguish expectations from demands. Every time we are disappointed, we analyze the projections and demands we have about ourselves, about others and about life. What is your greatest disappointment/illusion?
