sometimes people do have the capacity, they just don’t have it for you, sadly.

💯% agree & uncommunicated expectations are just a set up for preplanned resentment. also, a lot of people don't realize they themselves don't live up to expectations that they want other people to live up to

if they don't have the ability to communicate, I'll accept their limitation but not them sadly and encourage them to find someone who'll accept both

So true. Can’t pour a gallon into a pint. When you realize this, you make better decisions. You can adjust or know when it’s time to move on.

Especially when you’re high functioning and VERY self reflective and maybe even self critical… you have to remember everyone has to learn for the first time, even we did. We have just had the knowledge so long we forget how it felt to think (and therefore act) prior to having the knowledge.

I don’t have expectations anymore but also, I don’t consider a relationship REAL if I can’t have expectations because some stuff is just common sense

And you can tell a person that you don’t have the capacity for the type of friendship or relationship you want and they still won’t listen that’s why I just silently cut off

I love this I love the way you put it it's just perfect I completely agree people are so quick to give up on each other just because thanks or not aligning at the time but if that's your person you would try to understand them and work with them. a lot of them don't see it that way though. I believe in fighting for the relationship and working as much as possible on that but if it's only one person doing all the work it does not work that's the sad truth.

I’m speechless. Listening to your message has made me look at things from a different perspective.

I struggle with this and being patient while trying to understand their capacities vs lack of effort

The hard thing is that you can understand that someone has a different type of capacity and you can accept where they’re at- but then they still seem to not even be able to be consistent with that level of effort

You save yourself when you have less expectation and more discernment on the level of capacity a human being is able to receive you in every relationship of your life!

You explained that very well. This comes with growth. Immaturity hold a lot of people back. You must have patience.

I’m never frustrated that a person has limitations. I’m frustrated when they don’t recognize them AND have an issue when I decide I can’t operate within them. It’s the lack of self awareness and accountability.
