If you made a promise, would you likely to keep it?

yes, i am totally with what you said. i dont like people to break their promise. i have a lot of friends, after they promise me something, and they will forget, and never keep the promise. i am really feel unhappy, if they dont think that they could make it, why they still want to make the promise? if you are ready to break the promise, please dont make any promise to other to hurt people. it is really hurt if my friend break the promise. i have met a few times before, and i am tired about the promise others make to me.

It depends on the promise and if I am able to keep it. I don't make a promise if I will forget it in the future. I am not the type of person to break promises since it will ruin my friendship with that person.

I don't make many promises for a simple reason. I want to be absolutely sure that I can keep a promise that I am going to make. If there is any doubt, I will not promise. People are going to try and make me do so, but unless I am absolutely sure, there will be no promise way. Of course, many people assume that I promise something, even if I said "maybe" but that is just a mental flaw of some people. There are just a lot of people who throw around the word promise all too often. They are really going to make a lot of promises that they really do have any intention whatsoever in keeping. There are just going to really be a lot of times where people are just going to just cheapen the art of making a promise. It makes me shake my head sadly but I never make any promise that I'm not certain I will keep.

No really. That depends on how critical or crucial my promise, was I really defeated or my future would be lost if I didn't keep my promise. I promised a lot, I would not keep them likely because my faults were reasonable. I would be pleasure to keep my promise if I didn't have any interference and disturbances.

That's why I never make promises and in my friendship group, we never make promises to each other either. Promise is quite a big word and it means a lot but so many people use it so casually. It's so disappointing to have a promise broken, especially to a child as a promise means a lot to them. That's why I never make promises, too risky and I don't want to disappoint anyone. My friends are pretty unreliable and they know that. They can't keep promises and they tend to be very indecisive. So they never make a promise, it's always a "maybe". In my younger years, some of my friends did make promises but of course we were young and it meant nothing to us so we broke them. Like they say, promises were meant to be broken. Unless you are very confident in yourself then make them but make sure that you will not break them. I reckon promises only mean a lot to kids and children because you wouldn't want to disappoint them. Adults don't really take promises that seriously anymore so maybe that's why you might feel a little appreciated?

Promises aren't made to be broken. If you make a promise make sure you can keep them. Otherwise, the person you broke the promise to will think you are unreliable. People will have the idea that you are not man of your work. Thereby, they consider you a jerk and they won't rely on you the next time. Why would you promise when you can't keep them anyway?

If I make a promise, I do all in my power to keep it. I'm a Christian, and my belief is that a person's word is their bond. And if I make a promise and then not keep it, I am not keeping my word, which is not Christian. I take my Christian duty seriously. I respect and admire people who keep their promises, whatever the consequences. They are people of honour.

Yes. I always try to keep my secrets. There are very few times when the promise cannot be kept for some reason or another.

It can happen to anyone. And it is really an awful feeling having promised of something and yet the person made that promised didn't keep it. I usually get frustrated with that. That's the reason why I see to it that when I made a promises I can fulfill it because I know the feeling and difinitely it is not good.

I really don't like people, who promise something, but don't keep their promises. I can't really trust people who do that sort of thing. It bothers me that some people have no problem doing this sort of thing.

I always try to keep my promises. I have to admit though, there have been times that I had to break my promise but it was for a good reason. But I am the type of person that I don't promise someone anything unless I know I can follow through with it.

hi there kingparker, before i used to do a promise but, i always received messages that "promises are just made to be broken". as a result, i ended up making any promises. as some people do not really believed on it. and for me to avoid hearing those lines from the people that does not really believed on what i have promised, i ended up making one. same thing as you have experienced, the promises that i am making was not appreciated at all. although, i am committed to do it and was able to done it, still, appreciation was not given. so, i just stopped making promises anymore. as i feel so hurt whenever appreciation is not given. although appreciation is just a small thing but it denotes a big effect.

I made a promise when I was little and still no one knows the secret, so I think iam good in keeping secrets. I need to be good in secrets because iam a teacher and I cant just say everything the childrens tells me. But sometimes the secrets are lame and they can be told after a good talk with the person, having there acceptation to say it.

Saying the pledge is easy, but it's very hard to keep promises. therefore, I did not dare make grandiose promises, promises that later I just can not keep it, because it will always make me feel guilty. So that's why I will make every effort to fulfill the promises I've made, for me personally "a promise is a debt to be paid".

I agree with you, there are people who promise to do something to comfort/satisfy them at the moment. I lose trust in people who do that. THey are NOT true friends. It is difficult to respect people like that!

Well for me I try my best to keep a promise. If the promise isn't really that important, I wouldn't make it in the first place to be honest. I love when anyone who make me a promise keep it. If you know you cant handle to keep it or if you wont keep it then please don't promise me it in the first place. I take promises really serious. And when I don't get what I promise no matter what the circumstances may be, I get real upset. I start to view you different and more than likely I will never really ask you for anything again. As simple as that. I will never depend on you for anything either. Nothing at all.
