When you raise your expectations of people, after you bring yourself higher up. Most people generally can't keep up, that's why they are beginning to disappoint you. They may have been higher value to you before you started improving yourself, but after that point, they are falling short now.

Dont try and rationalize human behavior, it's a waste of time. As humans we are deeply flawed and unpredictable. You never truly "know" someone even your close friends and family. Just make your own happiness and enjoy life for what it is.

It is also incredibly naive if you are disappointed in people because you expect them to behave a certain way (not saying this is you at all; just a blanket statement). Let others live their own life and dont judge them because they fail to meet your expectations. Focus on what you can control (your life). Your life will be much less stressful and complicated this way.

No one is perfect, therefore, everyone will eventually disappoint sooner or later. So, yeah, it’s completely normal.

I find this to be the case more often than not. Everyone seems to disappoint you in some way shape or form, best not to set expectations too high, we have a natural urge to hold those we like to the standards and values that we hold ourselves to and unfortunately you're always disappointed; though you can't be disappointed if you keep your expectations low. The only person who wont disappoint you is YOU.

Interesting post. I think that your patience, and ability to take things onboard dissipates over time. Perhaps it is just a part of the ageing process, a loss of hormones, or just an accumulation of disappointment.

Or all of these!

I too prefer my own company, which helps to prevent exposure to too much heartache and problems which often originate from other people.

I suggest you think about "the human condition" and what could possibly be causing it.

And also consider that Nash's Equilibrium has overal dynamic motion, ie it heads for something and creates an eventual result other than warm and fuzzy improvement for everybody.

Also suggest you study the problems Asperger's types have with social societies and their perspectives on it.

Basically it all boils down to ego, self interest, and humans being natural liars jockeying for personal advantage. Its not pretty once you see it and how it permiates absolutely everything.

Yeap. I just don’t socialize anymore. It’s pointless.

My family usually never disappoints me, they’re my bread and butter. But everyone else, definitely. I never get that close to people non family.

You can't expect people to be perfect forever. Everyone seems to disappoint sooner or later because it is only natural that you will disagree with someone on something and they will stand by themselves. By that same token you will also disappoint everyone else sooner. Notice the people who haven't distanced themselves from you though, do you think you never disappointed them? Or do you think they worked through their issue with you because having you in their life felt more important?
