im gonna exercise tonight! -> i had a rough day, ill do it next time

im gonna clean the house today! -> my friend invited me out so i wasnt able to

im gonna cook dinner tomorrow instead of eating out like i have been -> shoot, got invited to go out again, ill cook tomorrow then

i got a friend like this. and im not gonna give em shit for it, its not really for me to mention. i aint his dad. but it does kinda reduce his word in my eyes >_>

like, why do people who do this, do it? something always comes up, there's always a reason its ok to not follow thru. your word is all u got, dont u want it to mean something?

anyway, pet peeve rant over. like i said, i aint the guy's pop so its really not for me to do anything. just annoying when he tells me stuff to "keep him accountable" then reneges on it with a different reason all the time

yak gaiden is awesome by the way

My brother's favorite two words as a teenager were "I will."

Almost never did he actually follow through.

i just have trouble focusing on uninteresting tasks unless i feel high anxiety/stress. the stress and anxiety puts me in a hyperfocus state.

so im pretty decent at accomplishing tasks with a due date. i just wait till like the day before to start. this is when my anxiety/stress is at its highest and I can finally focus =]

Pretty much everyone does this. Feelings and plans can change. Unless the act was something necessary who cares...no need to be butthurt about it unless you were stood up by a date or something

That doesn't sound like a big issue at all. Getting invited out by your friends is a great reason to change your plans.

The question is, how is he when making promises to others though? For example, " oh ill swing by and help you out with that that thing tomorrow-> hey something just came up and I can't make it"

That hits a little different tly, especially if it happens a lot.

well what im really talking about is when you say you're going to do something, then u don't do it. why not just say youll *try* to get it done or something, why make a definitive statement if there isnt a 100% chance youll adhere to it? barring extenuating circumstances ofc

thats what i do anyway

i cant say i agree. im sure there are others, but my word is my bond. if i think theres a chance i might not do or be able to do a thing, I don't say I'm going to do it
