Its not okay to have expectations on a person if you have not made it clear to them
It’s not okay to have expectations of someone if you never made those expectations clear. I’m not talking about boundaries or respect. I’m talking about people who constantly have friendship or relationship issues because they expect others to just know what they want.
For example, expecting someone to check on you when you’re going through something without ever telling them you needed support.
Getting upset because someone didn’t invite you somewhere when you never told them you wanted to be included.
Expecting your partner to know what’s wrong with you instead of simply communicating how you feel.
Being upset that a friend didn’t help you when you never actually asked them for help.
Expecting someone to understand why you’re distant without explaining what caused it.
Getting offended because someone didn’t remember something that you never told them was important to you.
Expecting someone to prioritize you when you never communicated that you wanted more effort from them.
You can’t be mad at someone for failing an expectation they never knew existed.
