For as long as I can remember, I loathe the act of disappointing others.

There must be a trick to doing this as I have observed others being able to accomplish this task with an effortlessness that appears natural.

Maybe you just learn early that none are more important to you than you and perhaps  this knowledge makes this unpleasantness easier.

Maybe it’s breath control? I don’t know…

Today I had to tell my 10 years old daughter that I couldn’t take her to see her relatives this summer in Europe due to financial reasons. She said she understood and is being beyond reasonable…

Maybe the trick is just being honest?
