Unexplained And Unexpressed Expectations
When we develop expectations, we paint a picture in our head of how things are going to be and how they're going to look.
Therefore, when expectations are unexamined and unexpressed, and that picture fails to play out in real life, we feel disappointed.
Sometimes, this disappointment will bring about shame, hurt and anger.

Nostalgia
An emotion that combines elements of happiness and sadness with a sense of yearning and loss for the way things used to be in our often idealised and self-protective version of the past.
It is more likely to be triggered by negative moods, like loneliness, and by our struggles to find meaning in our current lives.
