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.
That's really the mentality of we humans as we always expect things to always go the way it used to be without having that knowledge that change is inevitable in life because as people grows and have more exposure that's how our way of reasoning changes and sometimes the reason why some persons get depressed if they couldn't meet up a standard that they were before is as a result of people trying to let them know about their past life and activities but it is your duty either to listen to them or just live your life the way you can without caring too much on how anyone feels about you whether you are moving forward or not is none of anyone's business.
