In today's episode, I'm discussing the universal experience of disappointment. I kicked things off with a quote about weathering life's storms, then dive into the prevalence of disappointment, especially in high-stakes events like the NCAA basketball tournament. I explained how disappointment often accompanies other intense emotions like anger and hurt, particularly in interpersonal conflicts, failed achievements, and situations where we feel a lack of control. I also touched on the challenges of communicating disappointment, especially with antagonistic personalities. I concluded by previewing future discussions on the research and healthy approaches to navigating disappointment in relationships.
