If your keeping your word doesnt mean much to you, why is that? I do not trust people who dont keep their word. If someone lets me down a number of times, then I know they are not reliable. I find that this limits my desire to spend time with them, which is sometimes sad, but I have learned to accept that I cannot trust them to follow through on what they say they are going to do. Friendships and deeply connected relationships thrive on trust. I lose respect for people whose word doesnt mean anything to them. I end up feeling manipulated when someone says they are going to do something and then doesnt do it. Of course, I give them leeway at the beginning. There may be a good reason they didnt do what they said they were going to do. But if it happens over and over, I accept that I cant rely on them and my respect for them goes down. If you want to feel respected by others, then you need to say yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no, and not allow your fear of rejection or your fear of being controlled to get in the way of being a trustworthy person. Are you being true to yourself by keeping your word? If not, you might want to explore why.~ Johnny
