The look of disappointment.
Nothing is worse than seeing the look of disappointment on someone’s face. It just makes me feel worthless and incompetent.
What’s worst is that I’m being compared to someone else, I think. Someone who I know is more incompetent than me (let’s call him/her Person B) and yet receives praise. I don’t get it. Or maybe I don’t want to get it.
You know what I want to do? Bonk Person A on the head. (Person A is the one who does the praising blah) I mean like if you’re going to treat me differently, then at least have the decency to hide it and not display it in front of me.
Wait, I change my mind. The look of annoyance is much, much worse. Because now, I feel like an insect that someone just wants to squash. Ouch.
