The greatest suffering in life, that anyone can experience no matter who they are, is unfulfilled expectations. Girl isn’t interested in you, Weather isn’t what you want. Boss didn’t give you a rise etc.
According to Buddhism solution is to stop expecting things of others, of life, of reality. You can only control yourself, expect of yourself if you must.
Perhaps a bit of an exotic philosophy, but I think it applies here nicely.

I expect nothing and am still disappointed. What does Buddha say about that?

Accept and surrender to reality. This doesn’t mean to give up; it means to simply understand that reality doesn’t care how upset or disappointed you are with it, that’s your burden alone (plus anyone else you push that burden on to). Don’t worry about what reality should be like, see it for what it is and consider how you can affect it, and you will be less burdened.
