If you were to discount every person who ever broke a promise, there wouldn't be many left, including yourself. There can be a lot of reasons for breaking a promise. You'd have to have a look at that first, and then see if the promise was even one that should have been made in the first place. We make mistakes, we're human. Do we set standards too high for anyone to follow, because we expect others to make the world right for us? Are they a person with a shoddy character and nothing holds meaning for them? Depends on a lot of things. Your call.

In my eyes it would all depend on why they broke their promise, find out if they have a valid reason for doing so that they could not help or get out of, if that was the case then i would forgive them, but on the other hand if they just failed to keep their promise because they couldn't be bothered or something like that then yes i would think they were no longer worth bothering with.

Do you ever break your promises yourself? Be honest. Does it mean thet YOU are not worth bothering with any more? Do not apply such high standards to others that you would be unable to reach yourself. Humans are flawed - try to look at the greater picture. Is this person in the main someone you wish to associate with or not. Take all the good and all the bad into consideration and decide based on that. In other words, it may well be that you consider, looking at ALL the facts that this person is not worth bothering with - and you may well be right!

If they do it repeatedly, yes. But if it's just once, no way! People are human, and humans make mistakes all the time. We arent perfect. However, a promise is important, and you should be careful with that person until they EARN your trust back. Also, it depends on for what reason they broke the promise.

Depends if they do it on a regular basis. If it is a one off then usually there is a good reason.
I know someone who frequently breaks promises to me and I know the reason, so I don't really put myself out for that person, or take too much notice, it is quite hard because they are close family. Try not to take it personally it is the other persons issue really.

At the time, when you make a promise, you really mean to keep it. Life is precarious, so sometimes circumstances cause you to have to break it.
I really try hard not to make promises anymore because I can never be sure what tomorrow will bring.
