Love 'em or leave 'em

I have a problem: I cannot control my expectations.
This is somewhat crippling.
I CANNOT CONTROL MY EXPECTATIONS
This is a problem!
It's somewhat crippling.

Don't get me wrong, not all expectations are bad things. For instance, I expect people to obey traffic laws so I don't become roadkill when I bike to work or walk into town. I expect myself to stay alive long enough to be satisfied.

Expectations kill my relationships though. My mind loves to wander and fantasize about what could be and what is going to be.

Unfortunately, that is not what is always going to happen, and I can't stand that.
I always end up being disappointed.
So I really hate expectations.
But I don't expect them to stop any time soon.
I expect it to be somewhat difficult.
