This article, Disappointed or Inconvenienced, was first published in 2015 and it is one of my most popular articles. I have referred to it many times and its lesson about assumptions and expectations have been a source of understanding and peace for its millions of readers. While we believe that we disappoint people who expect us to be present, available, and serve them, the truth is that we merely inconvenience them when we say no. If you would describe yourself as a 'people pleaser', as someone who tries to make others happy, this article will resonate with you. And the result of realizing that your attempts to avoid creating disappointment are futile, gives you the information you need to create stronger energy boundaries and to be more aware of how you are using your emotional and energetic resources.
