Summary
From the “wise words” of cancelled Youtuber Gabbie Hanna, I revisit what expectations are, what they look like, and the impact they have on interpersonal relationships and in general. Using the article titled “The Psychology of Expectations: Why unrealistic expectations are premeditated resentments" by Dr. John A. Johnson as a foundation for understanding the emotional impact of expectations, some of the key concepts we explore in this week’s episode include but are not limited to confirmation bias, black or white thinking, and projection. Ultimately, is it better to have no expectations at all?
