Yay. I am glad that there are actually some things you do like. Take comfort in those, and let them lift your mood.
>But I am very afraid of them not being met. Which happens all too often, unfortunately.
That goes for many of us. One has to examine those needs and wants and figure out what is reasonable and what may be unreasonable or what is realistic and unrealistic. We're often on our own in getting our needs and wants met as adults (and, unfortunately, even as children). Some are fortunate in that they will have family or husbands/wives or friends that are able to meet some of our needs and wants, sometimes in full, but most times not in full. So again, we go back to having to meet them ourselves. I think it is setting up expectations that others will meet them that is a big source of disappointment. And I know it doesnt' take away the feeling knowing that. That is where reason/logic and emotion often clash.
You will be okay.
