She commented that she has learned something important about herself. She noticed that she is a better friend to other people than she is to herself. When she is overwhelmed with too many tasks and has to disappoint someone about something, she always chooses to disappoint herself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Disappointment - Who Do I Want To Disappoint\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q2fsdLflLGk?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie is pretty normal this way. Many of us choose to disappoint ourselves instead of feeling that we must explain to someone else. We feel that we will be more understanding about the disappointment since we understand the reason so well. Unfortunately, we don\u2019t feel that way. Instead, we feel disappointed about both the disappointment itself and disappointed that we didn\u2019t support ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie realized that she deserves to support herself first. She can be her own best friend. Stephanie commented on watching a video by Angel V. Shannon about disappointment that helped her understand this concept better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q2fsdLflLGk&amp;feature=youtu.be\">Disappointment &#8211; Who Do I Want To Disappoint &#8211; YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie realized that she was willing to disappoint herself instead of others because it was easier. However, she was justifiably angry with herself for failing to be her best friend! She wasn\u2019t prioritizing her own needs first. Stephanie realized that she must speak for herself; nobody else could.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since realizing that she has the right \u2013 and the need \u2013 to put her needs first, Stephanie is happier. She no longer feels overwhelmed by other people\u2019s demands. You, too, can learn this simple lesson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who do I want to disappoint today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us choose to disappoint ourselves instead of feeling that we must explain to someone else.
