Golden rule for life: keep your hopes up and expectations low.

[mrdad-zlzl]

tell me about it, love without expectations is beautiful. falling in love with an individual who has a form of autism and who does not see social expectations, as most of us obligate to social expectations subconsciously because we were trained to do that to be accepted by society. wanting to be in a relationship with someone who does not see this type of "social world" of what a relationship is (even friendship) in regards to the construct of human nature. Now I see love and friendship when there is no outline or construct or expectations and it has expanded my mind in so many ways. letting go of all expectations in all relationships has made my love free and pure and I am able to love in the strongest way possible. no expectations: communication.

I was very clear of my concerns from the get go with someone, I was assertive - where I went wrong is I saw the red flags 🚩 and chose to ignore them assuming he would not do to me what he eventually did

[hilmichildofgod]

This is priceless indeed! Especially when looking into all other forms of relationships (e.g friends, strangers, co-workers, etc.).

[MyKeturah]

THIS IS RIGHT ON TIME. I realized this for the first time yesterday!!!

[CharismaStrategies]

The only reason, realistically, that we should be going into a relationship is to give love. It is unfair and selfish that we expect love in return. In a more pure state, we won't NEED love from another person any longer. We would have developed enough self love for ourselves. We can also receive love from Source. We often project our own emotional injuries and emotional addictions from childhood onto others, especially our romantic partners. Yes, if someone treats us unlovingly, we should express that, but that's different. We shouldn't be getting others to fulfil a void within us, which are all our expectations. As we develop more in love, we will feel how sleezy and unfair it feels to project that others should do things for us. Expectations are essentially about controlling another person.

1:15 To expect something is to [believe with confidence] that something will happen **should happen or should be** To assume: is to take something for granted or to suppose something is **true** without having any proof 2:01 disappointed when expectations aren’t met (set up by previous experience, culture, family attitude, watching others etc) 3:04 conflict of expectations 1) unaware of expectations 2) expectations often reflect needs (backdoor needs) 3:59 expectations are to be communicated once aware of it 4:22 Good opportunity to take when you’re upset -4:38 what am I expecting and assuming? 6:10 brand new experience to figure out and communicate each other’s expectation

Teal, you should do a video on Body dysmorphic disorder!!

[velvetzica]

This is so true and relatable! and what i want to add to this is that you might to all this'meditate on your expactations and deepest dreams and desires, sort them, discuss them openly with your partner in the deepest desire to meet somewere in the middle, and things might still not work. yes, it helps, but not all the time. if you two are completly different people, with very different mentality, education, values it is very possible that this will not lead to succes in the relationship, despite the openess of the partners and the genuine desire of making things work...and this is ok.in this cases it is ok to leave the relationship without any further regret!

[katrk]

hope whole humanity understands this concept one day

[snoway]

The wise Teal always has the answer to all my questions I never asked her, this is great thought connection.

[colorfullyme]

[wenfox]

great video Teal . I like your about 10 mins or less videos. Clear crystal advice. First vid ive seen of yours in a while. Also to know on top of assumptions and expectation for the list and self awareness in any moment or upset is also our hopes/wishes/desires and our needs. That covers a lot. I will make a video on this also soon. Blessings to u and yours, love, Owen x

[phillipanderson]

Teal, you are great! I really admire your work. You are helping people. That tells VOLUMES to me. Keep going, babe!

Naturally most women feel loved and therefore secure, when men provide and do for them on a continual, though spontaneous basis, it makes them feel secure that they are the centre of loving attention in a man's heart, so mind.
The need for loving attention from the woman is communicated mainly on a feeling level, not so much directly because how the man responds to this is a test, so measure of how much love the man has for them.

The mans test of a womens loving attention is by how much she makes him feel strong and capable and the regularity she truthfully comunicates this to him.
The feedback boosts his confidence in his strength and capabilities to support her.

Well it's like Becker said: "No expectations, no disappointments." Cheers :)
