Why Do People Promise You Things & Then Not Deliver On Those Promises? by Nobody: 6:26pm On Sep 23, 2012
This act is turning to something else. Can we also call it "FAITH"?
Well I think some people are liars and will say what they think you want to hear to get what they want. Sometimes what they want may be a "relieve", smile or something.
Nowadays I really do not want to listen to some people.. cos of the sugar-coated but empty talks.

Some people do mean what they have promised, but due to certain circumstances, they might not be able to fulfil their promise. At the end of the day, we are all humans, therefore we are prone to mistakes, errors, and not being able to meet up with expectations.

Well, we are humans quite alright but an honest one will have a very good and convincing reason for breaking a promise.....although we have pretenders! I think its best to leave a request open like, "I will do it but I aint promising"....if one aint sure....thats my way sha.

What if you actually forced the person to make the promise.

promising"

It's only God that can make promises and not fail. As for me, i don't make promises at all because i cherish my words. I would do it because i wanted to, not because i said it.

the thing is that I dont go about promising, there have to be a request first and yes, the person might sound desperate about it and thats where the " but I aint promising" part comes in...

Yes the word "force" (not threat) is necessary especially when such demand is necessary and legitimate.

I do not expect too much from people, I have had to learn to give the benefit θf the doubt and I study people's personality to know how seriously I should take them. Hence, no surprises.
