Disappointment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disappointment is the emotion felt when a strongly held expectation is not met.
Example: A famous singer promises his fans a concert to remember. People have bought tickets to see the singer live. Personal issues or bad weather causes the concert to be cancelled or postponed indefinitely, leading to disappointment; or say, when parents have a daughter or son whom they expect to succeed in something but the daughter or son proceeds to fail, the parents may be disappointed in them.
