Welcome, devondegenero--
It sounds as if some people aren't coming up to your expectations of them. It's too bad when people disappoint us but it isn't such a good idea to think too much about how they've disappointed us.
At least I've found that if I give people the benefit of the doubt, I'm almost always glad that I did. You can't always know just what problems another person is dealing with, can you?
If the person who is disappointing you is someone you've known for quite a while and who hasn't usually disappointed you, it's probably safe to assume that something was troubling or preoccupying that person, probably only temporarily.
There's also this, though: Maybe your expectations are unreasonably high? Is it possible that you're expecting too much of people?
If you are, there's a good chance that you're also expecting too much of yourself. Sometimes a good case can be made for lowering our standards....
