That's what I figured. Going on from that point... for me, if something makes me unhappy, I either: 1) Chalk it up to my unrealistic expectations (and after that, learn to make myself happier with the situation at hand), or 2) See that there are real reasons for my unhappiness, and then actively change the situation or get myself out of the situation altogether, in order to find my own happiness. Either way, it's my responsibility.
