1. I will always apologize to people for every small mistake I make so that they know I have good intentions.
2. I will give gifts/presents to as many people as possible (especially women I like) so that they will like me.
3. I will always be "humble" (have low self esteem) so that I won't hurt anybody.
4. I will try to help others by solving their problems so that they will help me when I am in need.
5. I will wallow in self-pity when people reject me. I will think to myself: "what have I ever done to deserve this?.. I helped them so much and look what they did to me now..." and other "feel good" thoughts.
6. I will try to make friends with people on online communities (especially with those girls who have beautiful profile pics belonging to some random actress or model).
7. I will flatter people so that they will do the same to me (which makes me feel good).
8. ...
and ofcourse there are loads of other things which one might do in the same situation but I am fast phasing out and thus finding it hard to remember (wink wink) and capture the perfect example of the nervous, huddling bundle of less-than-nothingness.
PS: There's nothing wrong with helping people out. I still do it. But now I don't associate it with getting something back. The problem is finding the delicate balance between giving your time to someone else and to yourself. I better not give any advice on this since for some people sacrifice is important where as others stress on the importance of self service (and some people like to do both). The only point I would like to make is that if you feel the need to help someone then it would be preferable to "teach them fishing, rather than giving them fish every time they need one."

First of all, I would like to give you complete credit for admitting to truth which most people wouldn’t. But why should we expect a return for everything what we do in our lives, when we already know that expectations are the cause of all our miseries. Re(al)joy in life is when we do things in life without expecting anything in return. Then why expect? Why become miserable? Why not be wise? Why not? Why not?

May I just add another limited thought ??
Expectations are non-voluntary as simulation of saint-like thoughts are painfully never ending compromises with self.
I had once seen a movie called "Me Myself and Irine" which comically underlines something similar. To expect may be hard but to ignore that; may just be a bit harder...
ugh! i wud never like to b a wussy!
