Some lessons in life are easier to learn and we get them pretty quickly, but we’re not always so lucky. A Reddit thread in the Ask Women section asks, “What consistently leaves you disappointed … but you just keep trying?” It seems many women can relate to this topic, in both trivial and important ways. Hundreds of responses have come in and these are just some of the things women keep coming back to, despite the disappointment.
- “Reaching out for friends.”
