Does anyone else here set yourself up for disappointment
just so you're not surprised if something doesn't go your way?

1. I'm not sure how to answer that ...
I don't think I ever "set myself up" for disappointment. But more like I prepare myself for the worst, and hope for the best.

2. Yeah, that's what I mean.
I've come to realize that the worst will always happen to me. Never the better.

5. i try not too, in my own experience i've been disappointed many times
so now and i hate to say it because i know it sounds so cynical but i live by "Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed" and hope for the best but always prepare for the worst...ie, what you figure then end result is going to be anyhow.

7. I always imagine worst case scenario
That way it's not a big downer and I'm usually pleasantly surprised.
