Deuce, good to hear from you!

Maybe it would have made more sense if the counselor had said, "expectation of" instead of "attachment to" an outcome?

In my own experience...wanting to please others is great, but only if doing it pleases you, or you're willing to make a sacrifice in some situations. Because when you expect that your good deeds will and/or should be reciprocated, you set yourself up for disappointment.
