promises?

Yes many times I have been promised things,and these things have never materialized.There is one thing that one must take note of when someone makes a promise,and that is,"Is The Person Making The Promise,Drunk Or Sober At The Time Of Making The Promise.?" This is very important.!!!LOL!!!

People tend to make promises just to have an assurance that they gonna do it, for those who gonna do it; and just to make the person whom they made a promise comfortable. As others may even say, he already promised, but still, you like to be it in reality.

I am up to my neck with the promises made by all the Governments so far in his country.They promise that they will eradicate poverty.The poor politicians have become rich while the farmers have become beggars begging on the streets.Enough of promises.These animals should be exterminated.

Of course, when someone promise to you and he didnt do it, surely it will hurt your feelings especially when you expect that much. I also encounter that kind of situation in so many times in my life. But now, because of the bad past and heartaches it cause me, when someone make a promise to me i always tell myself not to believe or expect that he/she will really do that. Instead i just tell myself to wait and just be happy even he/she cant do it...

Yes! Our company! Lats 7 months ago, we were promised that we'll be trained for Management Trainee which in fairness was granted. Part of that promise was the assurance that we'll be promoted effective after our graduation ceremony on the program. Graduation came but the promotion was not still granted. We were promised again that it will be on Nov. 1, 2008 but still nothing happened. I really wanted to quit my job now because I don't know if they'll still put their promises into reality. ^^,

Many people like you said, they just promise, but never to do that. At first time, I believe him, but the second time, I will not believe him, and try to have little connection with him. It is my way to solve it. Sometimes, it is not affect.

Of course. I find that lots of my friends are like that. They hardly keep their promises. For example, one of my friend may say that I will offer you a dinner someday. Then, some day will never come!

oh yes, i have known quite a few people like that. it does hurt your feelings when they promise things & don't carry through w/them. what do i do i leave them alone & try to forget about them & their promises.

Oh i know someone like that. She is fond of promising but not fulfilling. Promises to her are made to be broken. Like she will promise that I will give you this, I will give you that when your birthday comes but 7 seven birthdays have passed and the promises never came true. Such kind of person loses her word of honor and people will never believe her anymore. When she talks everyone will just look at the sky and say: Here we go again!"

I have had some encounters with people who have made promises. Special people like friends or family. You are right that they don't understand just how that can hurt a person. I think one of the worst things a person can do is let down a child. I have a son and I know if I promise him something I would like to keep that promise. Children can get hurt so easily and won't forget the hurt they feel when their own mother or father doesn't come through. Making a promise is something that definitely shouldn't be broken.

I know so many people who promise me so many things but they dont follow their commitment. People break promises as often as they breathe so i don't have any expectation from others to keep their promise. I keep most of my promises and think about others feelings but why cant they do the same thing???

I really get disappointed when this things happen especially when this person is very close to me. Sometimes, I move away from the relationship slowly, whether its intimate or friendship because I don't want more disappointments than I already have. Maybe, it's very immature but that is how I feel.

People are different, with different approaches and outlooks to life. In the journey of our lives, We tend to encounter quite a many who makes a lot promises and then sneak out of our lives, leaving us disappointed. Disappoint is natural. The solution to handling this kind of situation and people, I believe, lies in not expecting anything in return. Try to avoid entering into relationships expecting returns. Life is free and it offers the unexpected as part of the bargain of life...When it is free, everything else that comes with it is free. All that is free need not to be good. Let go of people and past, that do no good to us. Get on with life as though every moment is the last. Can we change people and their behaviours? NO. Change our approach to life itself.. be open for big surprises.. and when surprises come we wont be perplexed..

It is something I have definitely faced.there was a guy , my so called best friend who chaeted me. But he used to make loads of promises each day. all were lies.there you will find this type almost everywhere

Aren't most politicians like that? Making promises before elections but not keeping them after just to get the vote and the trust of people? Seriously, there were times my husband made a promise but was left broken. Of course I felt hurt but then we talk about it and sometimes, it really can't be helped. I think, for me, if a promise was broken and it was acknowledged to be broken and an apology was given, that is so much better than no apology at all. It may have been broken but if the person was aware, somehow, for me, that feels comforting.

I try not to make promises that I can't keep. Sometimes people try and nail me down and make me commit to something when I'm not comfortable and sometimes I say yes and then later I say to myself "you should have said no".

promises are made to be kept.But some people are irressponsible to do so.I guess that why there are a lot of people are victims of promises that were broken.Us our selves might have been once in a while may have not kept a promise.to avoid this we should not make promises that are hard to be kept or promises we do not mean to keep at all.

i guess i have things promised to my kids but if it didnt happened on the day they expected... i explain to them the reasons... and i just make sure that whatever it is, i would do what i promised to them later on...

First,I don't trust people who make commitment easily. Second, when I incounter with them, I would ignore their promises. Third, if someone has tried his best to reach the promises,I would foegive him. Fourth, yourself is the most trustful people.
