To disappoint

If we expect people to not disappoint us we're plum out of luck but then no one will do that better than ourselves. Self-defeatism plagues many of us as we accept our lot in life as if it were a sentence. 

Regrettably the courage to find ourselves fully outside of the sphere of influence of the world feels much more daunting than it needs to and once steps are taken outside our comfort zone we realize we should have done it sooner. 

That being said we must be primed to take jumps and work out the logistics before leaping. There is a delicate balance to be reached between reckless abandon and being stuck in place feet in concrete without seeing choices before us. 

My generation tended to run on auto-pilot and saw life with less options but with more safety in mind. Social expectation drove us forward as parents who had struggled early on in their lives hoped for a better life for us within predetermined roles which worked for most but not all.
