It’s one of the worst emotions and feelings you can get from people isn’t it? It’s that feeling you get when you realize that you’ve really messed up again and you’re afraid of people being mad at you. But you know what you’re really more afraid of.
Whether it be parents, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, grandparents, pastors. ![]()
Disappointment haunts us, doesn’t it? I can honestly say I’d rather my parents yell at me and ground me than take nothing away and just simply say they are disappointed.
And I had never really gotten this reaction from a friend until today when I mentioned some things that I had been thinking aboutand there was no text message back for about 3 hours and finally, all I get back is this;
“I’m not going to say I’m mad at you, because I’m not. I’m just going to say…that really disappoints me. Do you want to talk about it?”
And my somewhat good mood for the day, shattered. I had figured the person would be mad at me, tell me I was being ridiculous, not text for three days and finally talk to me again. But of course not.
They hit me right where it hurt and eve n wanted to talk me through it?!
And, most people would say that it doesn’t matter what those people think. But I think the people who don’t react with hate and mean words are the ones that I think more about. It’s the people in my life and simply say, “Yes, you screwed up. Now lets fix this and move on.”
I would much rather be disappointed, than a disappointment.
