It's great to be empathic and use it in such a way that it guides you to make better choices.
Allowing yourself to feel things from another's perspective and to put your self in their shoes is a beautiful gift.
The disappointment can arise when you assume another will behave in the same way as you.
You are making the assumption that this person has the same moral compass, standards, ethics and principles as you.
This is especially difficult when fake people pretend like they do.
I guess the lessons here are to never assume anything of anybody.
Trust your initial instincts no matter how cool or popular a person may seem and never expect something of somebody just because you would do the same for them.
Nobody is out to get you. Most people are just in it for themselves.
