Do you easily get upset and disappointed in people?

Thanks. Yes, we kind of sorted it out but what mattered was also that she´s the only case manager available at the clinic I´m at. I had to keep seeing her or see "noone" so to speak.

I wouldn’t necessarily say I get easily upset and disappointed in people..although when I was younger I maybe did..

Thanks for posting and reaching out here, I’m sure many can relate to this

Thanks. I can really relate to what you write about being frustrated about a person who´s supposed to help but doesn´t act in a helping way.

The downside to this frustration is that there´s always a risk of losing someone who just thinks like "if you don´t find me helpful, then seek somewhere else". I´m often in such a situation where I feel I don´t want to stay in contact with people, both when it comes to "friends" and people within health care.

As you, I have a hard time to trust someone again if I feel they have betrayed me or they simply didn´t do their job in a proper way. I today told my personal ombudsman I don´t want to stay in contact with him any longer after he didn´t answer to an important text about my health care situation.

I do in fact get easily irritated with people. It is usually an issue I have with lack of professionalism or work ethic. When I am not being treated well by someone who should be helping me or in a position of authority I get frustrated as I know this is not how I would behave given the situation was reversed. What really gets my goat though is when it involves a co-worker - especially if their lack of work ethic or effort affects my own job or ability to perform my own tasks. I get upset, yes, and frustrated, that too.

I easily get disappointed when people fail to use basic common sense. I apologise for allowing that to happen here.

Raging vortex has a very good point... I find that in order to get something done, I do it myself.

I must point out that I am not a control freak. It is not about my needing to be in control. It is chaos that is the problem for me. And this is the problem I have with others. In times of chaos and lack of control, then is when I tend to be the one to step in and sort things out.

As mentioned too, I find it hard to forgive people who have disappointed me. I tend to then be unable to trust them to take on any further responsibility or things that I know will affect me. I am reluctant to engage them further. However, I tend to reward or show appreciation for those who do treat their responsibilities seriously.

Thanks. My disappointment about people is often about them not contacting me after I have contacted them and similar. What bothers me about professionals within health care or unemployment services is when they don´t stick to an answering policy for e-mails and phone calls but forcing me to call or e-mail several times to get hold of them.

There are so many things that make upset that I avoid reaching out as much as possible.
