Reactions to Disappointment

No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. 【小题1】 They tend to react to it in negative ways. They feel depressed (意志消沉的) or try to escape their troubles instead of using disappointment as a chance to grow.

One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. For example, Helen, a woman trying to win a promotion（晋升）, works hard for over a year in her department. 【小题2】 Deeply depressed, Helen loses her love for her job.

【小题3】 Jamal fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams, and decides to escape his disappointment. He covers up his real feelings by giving up on his schoolwork and getting completely busy with friends, parties, and “good times.”

The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth. This isn’t easy, but it’s the only useful way to deal with an unavoidable part of life. 【小题4】 If her boss doesn’t recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could move to another department. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she would be sure to get the next promotion. 【小题5】 Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, out of his brother’s shadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isn’t a final judgment on his abilities or potential.

Disappointments are unwelcome but regular visitors to everyone’s life. Step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.

There are few things more comforting than a hug. It’s a gesture that makes you feel loved, supported, and safe.【小题1】In fact, for some, even a simple touch on the shoulder can cause them great discomfort.

Let’s take a look at some of the possible causes.

【小题2】

A study has discovered that the degree to which we show physical affection and are comfortable with it depends on how we were raised.【小题3】However,as a matter of fact, some people who grew up with a lack of physical affection may later try to makeup for it. They’re the ones who always take the initiative and kiss and hug those close to them.

Low self-esteem and insecurity

【小题4】In fact, it’s been proven that the most insecure people generally feel threatened by being close to others. By marking and keeping their distance, they feel more in control of the situation. In fact, it means they avoid feeling vulnerable. Furthermore, they feel like it saves them from rejection or an emotional bond that’s too intimate.

Trauma (创伤)and abuse

Lastly, if individuals suffered physical abuse in their past, it is highly likely that they may reject any forms of physicaI contact. This rejection is often a result of the deep-seated fear and distrust that has developed within them due to their previous experiences. Indeed,traumatic events and negative experiences, such as physical violence or abuse, can generate a great fear of establishing physical closeness with others【小题5】
