a lot of people are not responsible for what they promised. they think one thing and saying another, they plan one thing and doing another. these kinda behavior are very annoying.

You pose an interesting question which I have asked myself many times.
I think it boils down to the type of request you are asking and how it is asked.
If the person comes out and says that they will do something and are in a position to make it happen then it may happen.
If they are not in position to make something happen but want to make something happen then it is unlikely the problem will be resolved.
There are talkers and doers. I am a doer and will not promise anything unless I am in the position to make it happen. But I am also someone who uses his resources to the max to make things happen therefore I will make things happen without making promises.
My suggestion is to surround yourself with like people. Get rid of the talkers. If they are people you work with then you have to be prepared to take the reins yourself.

Some people just promise things to get someone off their back. Other times, they may not be truly listening and make promises they can't possibly carry out. Some people are selfish and self-centered and if something better comes along they will break their plans they had to go do what they want to do. Some just honestly forget. Others have a very good reason, like an emergency or work or illness. You have to decide what is forgivable and what is not and deal with each situation as it arises. Venting your frustrations through communication is a good thing. Let people know when they have let you down. It's not acceptable to just always be expected to forgive and forget. You're not a doormat and your feelings matter!!

some ppl are worthy of their word and others like you say...say one thing but do another or mean another. Their promises are broken words.
It is very annoying, I agree with you*..but not much you can do* Until you know for sure if this person means what they promise and follows through on their promises, then you'll have to assume that everyone else don't mean what they say. So you can't take their word at face value*

Some folks just can't commit! They can't set apts. or dates & be held to them. It's something to do w/their personality. They mean well, but when it comes down to doing what they intended, they just can't. It's a disorder of not being able to commit to something for whatever reason. If you know someone who's like this, you can expect this is the way they are going to be. If it bothers you to the point of where you can't take it, I would just remove myself from their friendship. Just know it's not being done intentionally TO you, but is a problem from within themselves. It's a personality disorder!

hey man, don't trust too many people unless you know them really well. also, don't be like them because those people don't have honour. and you need honour so you're happy with yourself in life.
