Why do people feel sadder after looking forward to something for a long time?

Sometimes people miss anticipation more than the event itself.

People can feel sad after major events because anticipation creates emotional momentum that disappears once the event is over.

The vacation ends.\n\nThe concert ends.\n\nThe wedding ends too.\n\nThe hidden mechanism is anticipation withdrawal.\n\nHumans live in the future more often than they realize.\n\nExcitement builds slowly.\n\nReality arrives quickly.\n\nThen ordinary life returns.\n\nPeople think they miss the event itself.\n\nVery often, they miss having something wonderful waiting ahead.
