sometimes i do that so that i won't be dissapointed. BUT, don't do it all the time! don't expect the best and at least don't expect the worst. just be normal. don't imagine what things will turn out to be nd in that way, you won't be disappointed. because if you always think negative then you'll always be in the bad mood or there will be no room for enthusiasm. ditch the negativity!

No, if your expect the worst from people that is probably what you will get and never get disappointed.
Or expect the best and they will try to live up to your expectations.
As a teacher I have seen many a student convinced that he was a loser and never going to amount to anything. That is what his dad said and he was a smart man. But this child had real potential and I told him that. That his father was wrong about a lot of things and more about that than anything. He went on to work his way through college and now runs the town.
One day his father said, "I'm so proud of you, I knew you could do anything you set your mind to." He said, "Then dad why didn't you tell me that?"

If you always expect the worst of people would that turn you into a bitter twisted shrew.
I say expect the best, that way when you meet really good people then you will come across as being a friendly optimistic person that they would like to meet.
Be bright and cheer full, smile and spread happiness.

Depends on what you classify as 'worst'. If it is so bad, then even the best will not ever be enough to erase the worst. And the disappointment in the person will always be there.

That's what people with lots of baggage say.
It's overly pessimistic.
It's not fair to those that have done nothing to contribute to your load of baggage.
Carrying baggage is like picking up poop and sticking it in your pocket. It's pointless and it contaminates existing as well as future relationships.
Expecting the worse from people is a way to make them responsible for your baggage. It's not their job to carry it for you, in fact, no one wants to be responsible for your feelings.
Quit being a professional victim because you are afraid to let go of baggage. No one cares. Get over it and give other people a chance to "not dissapoint" you. Keep expecting that the will disappoint you, and they will.
It's not all about you, what you want, what you need, what makes you comfortable, what makes you happy, you, you, you.....
It's about what you can give to others. Seek to understand before expecting to be understood. Care about others before you expect them to care about you. Give your time and attention freely, unconditionally, and without exception. Quit matching the effort (or lackthereof) of others. Draw people out.
Give to others what you want from them. It WILL come back to you.......
