Expectations

Telling somebody who already is the way they are to be themselves, then telling them to be more, do more, is an unrealistic expectation.
Unrealistic expectations don't allow anybody to improve on their own terms, so they don't really allow somebody to improve at anything. People don't try to improve at something for or because of a program. Really, they are better off deprogramming themselves, and unplugging from the bullshit.

Expectations

Impossible or unrealistic expectations are not something anybody is going to live up to.
Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job, and since drugs were like kryptonite, they didn't want him to touch any drugs, they wanted him to comly with their agenda, their program. Their expectations were never really realistic, since the guy was always going to end up doing human shit like everybody else did.

Expectations

Expecting miracles to happen or be worked is expecting the impossible to become reality. Expecting changes to happen when someone's fingers are snapped.
The teenager committed suicide because he thought he owed somebody impossible expectations, when really he didnt need to change anything about who he was, he was only human, and not perfect. He hadn't lived long enough to realize he didn't owe anybody anything, or that one day he would know that life really was a beautiful thing, but that there would still be people in life he had to fight his entire life, and that they weren't strong enough to make life something other than beautiful, no matter how hard they tried.

Unrealistic expectations

Expectations that shouldn't be but are.
This rock band Solence has unrealistic expectations of their audience, they are daring the audience to come and beat them up. Not only does it not make sense to dare a bunch of people you never met (that you would otherwise have no problem with) and who have never met you (and would otherwise have no problem with you) to come and beat you up. The logistics of it alone for them to locate these guys based on what time they're going to be where and trying to pinpoint them even though the audience members trying to do all this stuff have to work the next day, it's an unrealistic expectation and the band knows it when they write lyrics like that. What kind of audience member has time to go find and beat up some band member they never met?
