what is your opinion about people who raise hopes and disappoint others?

There is nothing worse than having your hopes raised then let down flat.You hear people doing it all the time saying not to worry they will sort something out,if they have tried to help and it goes wrong,that is not so bad.People who make promises then don't follow through or cannot be bothered especially to kids should be ashamed of themselves.The majority of people will do their best but watch out for the leave it to me brigade.

I expect less of everyone ele other than myself because I know that many times, they are falsely promising things. I have the rule in my house that if you say the words, "I promise" you have to follow through, because that is such a strong word. I would rather some one say that they will try to do something than to say that they promise. If a promise is not gone through with, I am much more disappointed than I am if they say they would TRY to do whatever.

hi gayathrigs! well, i think that these people are very insensitive and inconsiderate. it is already bad that another person is struggling but getting his or her hopes high, like promising to help them and not doing so, will just make matters worse. anyway, there are times though when the other person does not really intentionally want to disappoint. sometimes, we are also limited in our actions that although we want to help, we inadvertently promise something that we cannot deliver, despite how much we want to help. so to be safe, just don't make any promises. just do it. take care and God bless you! happy mylotting ! :D

I've learned not to expect too much - it's good that friends deliver what they promised, if not, at least I won't be too disappointed. And I've also seen people who consistently promise to do anything and everything, but they actually did nothing - they only give lip service! To others, they sound like they are so kind and caring. In actual fact, they are 'fakes'! These are not whom I consider friends. So I'm rather selective about friends! Take care and have a good day!

My mom always told me not to depend on others. She said that a lot of people will say "I'm here for you" or "I'll help you" just because it sounds good. But when it really hits the fan, they're nowhere to be found. You have to learn to make things happen for yourself because you never know what will happen and you won't have anyone to help.

Hi There,I think it's horrible,the one who raise hopes and disappoint others will not be trusted any one once he eat his own word.it's better not to give any words to others than the way you posted.
