False Promises and Lies

Why do people lie and say they're going to do something then don't bother it really frustrates the hell out of me when people say yes im going to do that for you and then don't arrrgghhh

it really makes me so angry ... if i say im going to do something i do it so why do people lie i would rather they said maybe or i will try but im not promising at least i would be prepared then

does anyone else suffer this problem and get really angry when people let them down ?

  • yeah I can't stand open ended ness. If I say I'm gonna do something then I will. And usually I will prioritise that above everything else (which I am coming to realise isn't terribly healthy...)

    My boss (who is great) does have a habit of saying "catch you tomo" which really bugs me as it is far too vague for me. And if 'm on a paranoid day then the logical part of me that knows "it's just coz he is busy" gets relegated to the background and all the "i'm boring him". "he's fed up with me", "I'm being a pain", "that's just his way of fobbing me off" come to the fore. I also hate it when people don't answer emails or texts.
