So, just not care as much?
in my experiance ive found putting expectation on other people is limited to their personality and most are incapable of the integrity and honor i hold myself to, so ive found to simply not have any expectation until a level is reached where there is mutual trust understanding
in other words to have one level of trust or expectation for all people is perhaps doomed to fail
i like to start everyone at level one so to speak and build from there in bite size pieces, so if someone is to let you down or whatever then it will only be something minor and not a major kick in the pants, then it will reveal itself if a person is worthly of a deeper connection; but to brand everyone with the same iron is somewhat foolish because there is every type of person out there
in fact yesterday i quit working from one of my contractors (i subcontract in general carpentry / construction)
for a while i sensed a level of dishonesty for this guy but he always paid me well and treated me with respect, however he underpaid some guys on his crew because they are pushovers, eventually this got worse and started to take advantage of my hard work and honesty so i ended our contract before he has a chance to fuk me around, this probably doesnt relate much to your situation but for me he was definitly not someone i could count on for professionalism and integrity so id much rather end it now then get into a situation of serious consequence which i felt was just a matter of time
most people are fuked in their own way so ive come to filter everyone i meet and go from there in baby steps but it is definitly easier said than done especially when money and even more important- emotion is involved
