The Problem With Expecting Good From People

What this episode covers

For most of my life, I believed people were generally honest, loyal, and trustworthy because that's how I tried to live my own life. But after decades of disappointment, betrayal, and hard lessons, I began asking this question: Was I seeing people for who they really were, or for who I hoped they would be?In this episode, I share personal stories about trust, being taken advantage of, navigating betrayal, and the realization that expecting others to live by your values can lead to unnecessary suffering. This isn't a story about becoming bitter—it's about learning to see human nature more clearly.If you've ever felt disappointed by people, this conversation may resonate with you.
