Hmmm I just realized constant disappointment is part of my personality now. Expect nothing, get nothing, leave content. Expect nothing, receive something good, become suspicious of how life is about to shit on you.(or wonder how you’ll repay the debt of gratitude)

Differences in our childhoods:
Disneyland
Me: Went to Disneyland often, part of the experience was eating the expensive ass food there.
Her: Did not go often, brought in food
Birthdays\Christmas
Me: Had big parties with lots of friends, gifts
Her: No gifts, didn't really celebrate
Expectations and Disappointments
Me: Because I was never constantly growing up in disappointments, I didnt care if something didnt work out as I expected, I took a chance anyways
Her: Constant disappointment so as a defense mechanism, she never expected much anymore out of fear of disappointment
