How to expect less
It made me
accept people 
"I learned to expect fewer favors from people, but now I'm learning to demand that people perform their jobs with minimum competence."
How I did it: I learned who I can depend on and who I can't. As a bonus, I became a better judge of character. Good friends and a loving partner are the luxuries that make life wonderful, and if you have friends and a lover, you're incredibly fortunate. But in the final analysis, you can really only depend on yourself. So the challenge is to become someone that you can depend upon.
Lessons & tips: Simply accept that people don't owe you anything other than minimum performance for the job they're being paid for. That's all I have any right to expect.
Resources: Nope. I don't know anything that will help you become self reliant. Maybe some therapy if you're really dependent.
