How do you guys deal with Disappointment?

So, today guys, I Failed a test/project combo that was worth a lot of my grade (Like... 8%), even though I tried really hard on it. I still have a B in the class, luckily, but I feel majorly disappointed.

So, I decided to ask you guys how y'all cheer yourselves up or deal with it after something disappointing happens in your lives. To get some ideas, you know?

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

By not having big expectations 🤣 Well, also you can't really solve anything by being disappointed, so not thinking that much about it helps a little.

Always expect the worst, no exceptions.
That way you never feel disappointment.
People tell me I'm negative, I think it is a much more positive way to look at the world.
If you expect the worst, what does happen always seems better.
To me, it feels like people who are eternally optimistic are lying to themselves and one day will snap and start killing everything in their path. Like postal workers.

Now to give you some advice you can actually do something with.
In the rare cases I do get disappointed, because in reality it's impossible to always expect the worst, sometimes you feel really confident in something and it still blows up in your face.
Anyway, what I like to do is give money to random people who talk to me on the internet, like I'm doing right now. 😉 😉
Naw seriously though, I like to take a really deep breath and scream from the top of my lungs FUUUUUUUUUCK!
Then I just try to relax by reading, listening to music or playing a game, ya know, get my mind off things. Maybe after that get something good to eat, like thai, hmmmm I love thai.

Do but despise reason and science,

I don't invest myself enough emotionally to let myself become disappointed.

I don't. I usually try to avoid hoping too much or expecting anything. But I'm only human so......................

No one gives a shit what trite garbage you write here.

I just don't ever expect to get what I want.

Therefore, when I do get it, its a welcome surprise.

When I don't get it, I was expecting it anyways.

I win in both cases! (not really)

I´m also the type who does not expect anything but thew worst, but as it was also said, it does not always work like that , you get disappointed over something.

If it is a school project of any kind, I talk with the one who evaluated my work and have them explain to me why my work did not meet the standards I expected it to reach, I go through it untill I understand why it got graded the way it got and when I can see why (even if I do not neccesarlly Agree) I know what were done wrong and then I often fix such things up, since even if the project is done and it have already been graded, I still want to feel proud of it so I fix problems I find.
And if I agree on the things that lowered my work, and I can understand why and how and what could be made for it to be beter, then I learn how do do things In the future. It may sound unrealistic to do such things but if I can improve my works (and im the type who wants to be proud of my achivments and accomplisments) then I´ll do that.

Well I hope It help you

If you want to succeed
Then you don't need Good Luck
You need the ability to overcome Bad Luck

That is exactly how I think. Exactly the same.

I'm always looking at the worst possible cases that can arise from a situation, and believing that will happen, so when it doesn't, I'm relieved, and if it does, I was like "I knew it".

The blow of the disappointment is lessened I feel. Well I know it works because I've been thinking like this for years 🤣
When the disappointment still lingers a bit and stings (because you know, sometimes it does) I just relax, and do things that I really enjoy to perk my mood up again before tackling the situation (if it needs sorting out).

DENIAL

1.Identify your mistakes, learn from them. (This is the most difficult step)

2.Be optimistic, it's just around 8%

3.Turn your frustration into motivation for the next exam, for me i would just tell myself "i will definitely do better next time"

Pretty much the same for me..... I'm not the type that ever gave a fuck about much, anyway...and I'm the type that prepares for the worst more often than not.

I sometimes drink a bit too much after a shitty day at work, but tend to do the same after a good day as well, so.....

Works for me, but sometimes when you get disappointed you have to take the time to work out your possible solutions. You always have to be able to settle for less, and eventually you'll realise that with the solutions you have made. You still got your options. Oh and never try to compare yourself with others it normally makes things worst.

The only time I have ever been disappointed was with myself when I completely messed up one of my exam papers and as a result failed to meet the conditions to enter Imperial College. The bars were set relatively high for me I was good but wasn't that good. I had hope, my parents gave me hope so I ended up disappointed. It was my first ever true taste of what it was like to be truly disappointed in something, because I've never really had a high expectation of myself until then.

Guess what? I'm currently studying else-where in the UK and have forgotten that past, because I knew I could settle for less and I did. Now I'm having a very fun time and not wasting a lot of my money on living expenses in London.

But I'm not going to delude myself I would probably somewhere have a small inkling of regret when I start finding a job, but I doubt there will be a huge difference since the course is practically the same.

Isn't it sad never hoping for anything? o_o

If I fail a test, of course I get dissapointed ... but it's just to move on really... and if it was because I didn't study enough then I know that until next time.
It's worse if I did study and got a bad result anyway. 😐

Same for me. Specially the 'preparing for the worst part' (and booze of course).
I don't get hyped over things...it's not that I have low expectations or anything. I'm just aware that shit happens and that you can't always get what you want.
