You ever get mad at someone for not doing what you expected—when you never even told them what you expected? That’s the trap of unspoken expectations. You’re holding people to invisible scorecards they don’t even know exist.
Here’s what happens:
You expect people to read your mind
They show up as they always have
You feel let down, resentful, even betrayed—when really, you never said what you needed
That’s not peace. That’s avoidance. And it ruins relationships.
In this video, I break down:
Why we build silent scorecards and punish people for failing tests they never knew they were taking
How childhood patterns of people-pleasing, hinting, and silence shape our expectations today
The cost of never expressing what you really need
Why “they should have known” is a toxic mindset
The two options that protect your peace: Say it or stop holding it against them
Clarity is leadership. Clarity is love. Stop expecting people to read your mind—speak it, or let it go.
