The Emotion of Dissapointment

First off, if you feel frequent disappointment then you are in danger of health risk. Studies show that this emotion is directly tied to stress and a bunch of related behaviors that are bad for your health.

This is the most important question to ask when you feel this emotion of disappointment. Are my expectations realistic?
