How would you feel if one friends promised you something and then

I would feel really horrible, and that's a fact. If I were in this situation where a friend promises me something and then that same friend promises the same thing to someone else, then I would feel very bad. No one has to ever experience that kind of situation, but I guess many people do sometimes.

Well jugsjugs, I don't know if leveling yourself to their level is the answer..I'd just say lesson learned and in the future if they promise you something, just don't depend on it..I learned this the hard way through my marriage, can't trust a word of promise this man says..

I think keeping our promises is very important and tells alot about who we are as people and friends. Why let them get the better of you? Are you really that weak and immature? It is very sad if that is the case.

i agree with you. if my friend do this to me, then i can conclude that he/she is just doing a lip service. i can't rely on her/his words, maybe i will ignore the promises and just say' yeah yeah yeah '. so he/she can understand that i don't like hear some bull $hit

I ever feel this, one of my friend promise to me that he will give something to me and coincidently I need it very much. He promise it to me at first place but few day after it I see her promise it to someone else. Honestly I feel a little betrayed and feel treated as number two in her heart.

it will pinch the heart if the friend cheats us. it'll be more than a love failure. i experienced all these earlier. but even now also i trust friends. because they are assets of my life. and now i'm having my best team surrounding me who helps me in any case. we share all our joys and sorrows.

if a friend promises you something and he/she didn't keep his/her promise..let it go..that only shows what kind of person they are..how can you rely on a person who can't keep his/her words..but then again, you already know how it feels..so why are you still planning to do the same to them..remember: don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you..

That reminds me of my dad. He told me he was going to give me Aunt Maude's golf trophy, and then he sent it to my Aunt Rita instead. In this case, I wasn't mad (mostly lol) because 1) I didn't want it all that much and 2) Aunt Rita remembers Aunt Maude and I don't. Also, I don't really think he broke a promise to me so much as he just either forgot, or he possibly thought I didn't want it because I didn't remind him. But if it was a case of promise me something, then promise to somebody else knowing full well that I wanted it, I'd be mad.

Two wrongs doesn't make a right, you're better than to lower yourself to their level and obviously a true friend if you consistently keep your promises to them. So why even risk changing the person you are from someone good into someone not-so-good? It's not worth it! You're better off stepping back and putting these kind of people behind you and befriending good people that instill your same good-hearted values. Good luck!

People shouldn't make promises because they are sure not to keep it. Instead, if God permits, then say what you believe you can commit. Try to keep it and understand what the person on the other end would feel. I've gone through the same experience and you know what? He was not able to fulfill the promise to me but was able to give it to the other. What I felt was that he was a callous non-feeling callow person. But of course, though it is once emotional right, it is not healthy to harbor hatred. Thus, I learned to forgive.

i never make promises. if a person is honest, they will say what they mean and mean what they say. once a promise is put into the picture, then you must be careful. because people cant control life as they please, and anything can happen to make a person break a promise.

A promise is a promise! The only circumstance that is it ok to break a promise is when your protecting someone from a hars truth! You know what they say...you loose your confidence in someone only once!

I know how that is, and yes, it feels pretty bad, but rather than sink down to their level and act out of spite, why not get some new friends and show them how a good friend acts. If you do what they do to you, you're no better than them, but if you try and stay friends with them and "set a good example," you're just going to end up being miserable. They don't deserve you and you deserve better. Go and find some better friends who value you enough to keep their promises.

I think, a bit disappointed. And perhaps, after that, I will think that nearly all of us are just so.

Hey jugs~ I hate people that make promises that they don't keep! That pisses me off more than anything! I don't like to make promises that I can't keep so I really try hard not to commit if I'm not totally sure that I can do something. That way I don't disappoint anyone or go back on my word! I have had so many of my friends break their promises, and usually at the last minute. In fact, two weeks ago when I was scheduled for two very important medical tests my "friend" that promised to go with me from the very beginning cancelled that morning! She knew how scared and upset I was about going and still cancelled and I ended up going alone!

I'd be a little annoyed by it, if it were to become a constant occurrence. Promises are almost a sacred thing. When you promise something, you are giving the impression that this task or event has become a top priority. There's a certain amount of pressure that comes along with a promise. That's why I try to refrain from making them myself. I wanna be there for friends when I can, but I enjoy having some wiggle room for making adjustments and such if something else comes up and I'm unable to follow through.

I do not promise things to anyone unless I am sure of doing so. I use word try if I am not sure and that gives enough clue that its not a promise. Its not good to break promise but there are many around who says that promises are easy to break and meant for that. I do not believe in this phrase at all. If I commit something will do best to accomplish that.

I know its hurts and also feel dissappointed when our close friends doonot stand to promise they make.But sometimes it can a also happen that they cannot stand to their promise because they had some problem of their own.When i makes promise i usally see that i stand on it unless if situtaion is demand is otherwise.

That would be a terribly sad feeling...I am a true friend but if my friend would not be doing the same,the friendship will turn into a waste. I really hate promise breakers!!!!!!! That's equivalent to fooling someone and backbiting a friend. But fooling will not last long. For me, If u cannot stand by your promise better act silently and let your action speak....after all, friendship is not all about how much promises you have made but it's all about how much you have done to make friendship last long.

Promises is made to be broken that you need not to expect, just thank and appreciate when it comes. Anyone can do promise without thinking what he/she is saying to please the person or to make believed.
