5. "They need to DO SOMETHING!!! And they need to GIVE US THEIR PLAN!!!"

"OK. Here's what we're going to do."

"IT WON'T MATTER!!!"

And yet, setting your expectations low to avoid a crushing disappointment means that until the outcome is achieved, you're already mimicking crushing disappointment and if it turns out well, you've wasted all this meantime being miserable.

It is possible to be optimistic and expect the best while still being aware that it could turn out differently than you hope. But I refuse to live in darkness and dismay because something MIGHT not turn out as I wish it will.
