: I've been dealing with a couple of situations in my life where people have not met my expectations and I feel let down. It makes me angry to the point where I want to blow them off entirely and ostracize myself from their lives. Then again, I don't want to do that because I feel as if I'm being petty and selfish. I will go into specifics if needed.

: I feel comfortable confronting the situations, one of them already having been confronted. But, that didn't change anything and made me more pissed off. What do I do?

It all depends. Do you own a shotgun? :)

Seriously, I feel that all you can do is to confront the offenders with the facts and see how they respond. If you don't get a satisfactory response then all bets are off. Unless you want to fight them or sue them there's probably not a lot to do but to disassociate yourself from them.
