The bitter truth is that only a few people in today’s world live their expectations. Many survive on the crumbs of their expectations, and so far, it has resulted in anxiety and even frustration. It’s vital to always hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. Disappointments remain inevitable, and they shouldn’t rob you of your happiness. It’s fun to fantasize about great scenarios that may play out in real life, but on the other hand, expectations are double-edged hammers. 

Recently, TikTok user @Keelynight, aka Madeline, shared a clip of herself in tears over the nails she had expected vs. what she got. Instantly, it prompted other TikTokers to share their clips. The shared videos have so far been showing the vast differences between what they wanted and what they got in reality. From haircuts, spray tan for pale skin to clothes, we’ve compiled some of the best for your glance. You possibly will find some of these stories relatable, and you sure will also laugh at these misfortunes. Please have a look, enjoy it!
