How often do you experience building yourself up, only to get let down either by someone, something, or inevitably, yourself? Also, how hard is it for you?
I ask because today I was out and about doing the weekend crap with my mother, and I planned on getting my hair cut today. Only to show up like ten minutes before closing, which mind you was plenty of time. The girl saw us park, and ran her little butt to the Open sign to turn it off. Way to let me down, and totally piss me off. The worst part, is if it were that close to closing, I'd probably do the same. Personally, I do it more to myself than anyone else does to me. I expect too much of people, and I get too anxious, obviously. I'd rather be let down by others than myself, at least then I would know that it was more out of my power than when I do it.
So let's talk about it. How seriously do you take let downs, regardless of who they are caused by?
