3. "Expectation"

Limited Expectation:

  • You expect a direct confrontation to be messy, so you’re avoiding it.

Definition: An expectation is a preset idea of what will happen.

Example: “Talking to them will just lead to an argument or make things awkward.”

Application: Change your expectations: instead of a lecture, approach it as a friendly check-in. Say, “Hey, I know you’ve been busy. Do you want me to help with a part so we can finish together?”
