Expecting

One source of frustration we seldom recognize is in "expecting" too much of others, or "expecting" too specifically what we feel they ought to be, say, give or do. ... I ... often fail to live up to the expectations of others. (One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, 4 August)

The person who seeks to change another person in a relationship basically sets the stage for a great deal of conflict. (Wesley Snipes in Acts of Faith by Iyanla Vanzant, 8 August)

Dare to be unique, for from this uniqueness you will contribute greatly to the people around you and to life itself. (Colleen Zuck, et al., Daily Word For Healing, p. 195)
