You ever get mad at someone for not doing what you expected—when you never even told them what you expected? That’s the trap of unspoken expectations. You’re holding people to invisible scorecards they don’t even know exist.

Here’s what happens:

• You expect people to read your mind

• They show up as they always have

• You feel let down, resentful, even betrayed—when really, you never said what you needed

That’s not peace. That’s avoidance. And it ruins relationships.

In this video, I break down:

• Why we build silent scorecards and punish people for failing tests they never knew they were taking

• How childhood patterns of people-pleasing, hinting, and silence shape our expectations today

• The cost of never expressing what you really need

• Why “they should have known” is a toxic mindset

• The two options that protect your peace: Say it or stop holding it against them

Clarity is leadership. Clarity is love. Stop expecting people to read your mind—speak it, or let it go.
