Expectation from people could be the driving force that keeps us going or the reason why some of us gets depressed because of our inability to meeting those expectations.
Because some children did well while growing up in there preliminary classes, people always expect you to come out of the university with destinction and when you're unable to do so, it could get you depressed because it appears most time as though you've failed big time in life and that no one will even understand you at all. I'm at a cross road where my parent and siblings believe so much in me, academically, because I did well in high school but the reality is that I wasn't my best in the university and no one wants to imagine that its a possibility.
How then do I mange the expectation of people on me such that i don't get into depression when I'm unable to meet up with it.?
It's almost like everyone knows you're going to succeed but don't even care about what you're passing through while you're striving to make them proud.
The thing is that parents in general don't care how their children feel, all they want from their children is go and get me your best, is not bad but the way they go about it is wrong, too much of expectations causes depression and one can lose focus on what he or she is doing.
Not that some children don't know what to do but checking on them to know what they want and all that can let them lose concentrate and another thing or mistake parents make is comparing their children with other people's children when they're not doing well in school or maybe in business too, with that happening it kills their morela. With how some parents are expecting their children to do better like their mates it makes them to look useless in the society, is just bad.
