Lower Your Expectations

A saying that means the more you expect out of something, the more disappointed you'll be when the outcome arrives. So always lower your expectations so you won't feel disappointed about the outcome, but never worry about it either.

If at first you don't succeed, lower your expectations.

Expectations

What you want to happen even though it never aligns with reality

On his way to the party, Tom thought his expectations (fucking Summer) would align with reality. To bad he found out it was an engagement party.

Great Expectations

An extremely boring novel by Charles Dickens, following the story of Pip, a little kid whose parents died. His sister, Ms. Joe and her husband Joe raise him. Ms. Joe is actually a fucking dick to Pip. I zoned out at this point but Pip went to Ms. Havisham’s mansion. Havisham is this crazy lady who was left at the altar and instead of getting over it, she stopped all of her clocks, never threw away the food and never took off her dress. She also had this adopted (i think) niece named Estella. Pip starts simping hard for estella, and again i zoned out but Pip was simping so hard that he followed estella to London. He became a douchebag to try and impress her, but his London joyride was running out of funds. When he found out who was giving him the money, it was some criminal he met in the very beginning of the book and instead of being grateful he was upset it wasn’t Havisham. Idk what happens after that but honestly i’m not looking forward to reading the rest.

premature sexpectation

The miscalculation of expecting sex when you haven't laid the proper intimate foundation.

While she excused herself to the washroom, I disrobed and my anticipation of an intimate encounter to follow was a premature sexpectation.

Great expectation

Expecting someone to do something like work 4 jobs or fly.

The girl wanted to see somebody fly freely (without being in an aircraft or having a parachute) even though nobody could do that. The people who tried to live up to her expectations are all dead, those who watched them die didn't find her great expectations liberating at all.
