Question

Have you ever tried to hide or re-invent yourself to avoid expectations?

Answer 1

naw too much work

Answer 2

so many times....and i think i have finally succeeded...because my level of expectations with life has become very very low

Answer 3

Nope. =) I am who I am, whether people like it or not. Who I am is not other people's business. And why is this in 'Ramadan'? lol

Answer 4

If you undertake to re-invent yourself it should be for reasons much more fundamental than other people's expectations. If you don't quit doing that you'll do yourself some damage in the long run. People will have expectations all the time; some will be quite diverse from anything you stand for or try to achieve. Some will be quite on target. You can either satisfy, ignore or confront expectations, but hiding is weak and re-inventing yourself without a cause or compass is, with all due respect, crazy.

Answer 5

No if there are expectations of me I do my best to exceed them. I take them up as challenges.  

Answer 6

God, how many questions do you have on your mind today Kinza? You are so full of questions!

Answer 7

Yes, many times but I don't think it's worth it in the end. I am who I am, whether anyone likes it or not.

Answer 8

I did during the first few days of college, but i'm lazy in nature and gave up on that.   I evolved gradually anyways.   looking back, i'm glad i did nothing really.  

Answer 9

yes but failed and it wasn't to avoid expectations...it was quite the opposite. I figured its best to be yourself
