Want to know what I find amazing? That there are people in this world who think that it's perfectly okay to say one thing, and do another. That, in their opinion, SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL??

I've come across this way of thinking more times than I cared to. My own son feels like this. That's why he lives 3000 miles away from us, because as he put it "I only care about myself and you wouldn't let me get away with my way of thinking".

Imagine your own son actually saying "you owe me, because you brought me into this world".

But I'm digressing. This thread is about Beth and Her feelings.

She been slighted, been promised something, and the person, FOR WHATEVER REASON, is trying to pooh pooh this whole experience and probably told her 'oh for crying out loud, what's the big deal, it was only 50 bucks (I'm just using this as an example),

When you are dealing with a person with that kind of mind set, I don't believe that person can ever change. That person, for some reason, has come to the conclusion that when they give their word, SO WHAT IF THEY DON'T COME THROUGH FOR YOU!!!!

I don't subscribe to this way of thinking at all. It's very sad that there are many people in this world who think like that. They can't really make true friends because their true colors eventually come through.

It's like the odd nephew who comes around for handouts and says "you know I'm good for it" but they never are. They just smile, slink away with whatever you give them this time".

It's about me me me. This type of thinking. It's not about 'oh my goodness, I did say I would do this didn't I?", I am sooo sorry, let me make it right".

NOW THAT PERSON IS A PERSON I CAN RESPECT!!!

Too bad people don't aspire to be that kind of person.

After reading all your posts I have come to the conclusion that I am not blowing this out of proportion. I just want something wrong made right:winky:

Hi Bannet. I was just reading all of these posts with interest.

I don't make a promise when I don't know if it's completely possible to accomplish. It depends on the promise.

Promises are iffy at best. One never knows what's comin' round the bend.

What I have the most problem with is trust. I still don't know anybody I would trust a very serious 'secret' with. I hate it when people repeat something that you've asked them NOT to share. So if I have something I don't want the general public to know, I just keep it to myself.

I hope you get this resolved. :hug:
