Being Disappointed

It would be impossible to get through life without being disappointed about something.

Disappointment occurs when we have an expectation or desire about how we want

something to turn out and it doesn’t go the way we wanted.

How do you Cope with Disappointment?

There are a number of unassertive ways of responding to disappointment. These include:

• Sulking

• Anger at the thing / person that you see as cause of disappointment. This can include

being angry at yourself.

• Depression

• Wanting revenge

• Giving up

• Self-criticism

Take a minute and think of the last time you were disappointed. See if you can remember

how you reacted. Write this down.
