It sometimes happen when I make plans with my friends to go out or something. There are many reasons why we break them, either me or my friends. For me, the main reason is because no one can drive me there.It is usually me who are going to places near their area, which is far away from mine.
One of my friend has a boyfriend who has a car, they should be able to come to someplace near my house if we really want to meet. Another reasons usually is because I have to do something at my workplace that coincides with my plan that I can't refuse. With close friends, if I'm tired or they're tired, we just tell the truth that we're exhausted or we have other things we want to do and there are no hard feelings.
What's funny is usually when one of us has another thing to do, it seems as the others also coincidentally have another things they must do. I think we just accept that once we all have our separate lives, sometimes it can be pretty difficult to arrange some time to be together. The most important thing is not to call off the plan at the last minute, especially when I make plan with only one other friend and she has already made it to the place.
Alone.
Yes I have. I can only think of one instance when I did that. I just wasn't feeling up to it that day.
I expressed it to that person and he completely understood. He said that he wasn't really feeling up to it either and said that we'll just do it another time.
Probably a mixture of both, regretting having made the commitment and having other things that really needed to be done, more than me following through with my plans and meeting up with a friend. I have cancelled plans for a variety of reasons, from realizing too late that I needed to desperately complete tasks to meet a deadline to just being too plain lazy or unmotivated to go out and keep my plans with a friend. Sometimes a small emergency fib was necessary to get me out of a commitment that I may have made a bit too spontaneously or eagerly and was unable to keep at that time due to other responsibilities accruing.
However, I do not like to fabricate an emergency lie, no matter how small and insignificant, and so there were many times when I either stuck out the commitment and met up with my friend against my own desire, or just plainly told my friend that I just did not feel like it at that time because I was either not feeling well enough (which was the truth), had much work at home to be done, or simply felt like having a quiet day to myself (usually if a busy week preceded the date). Most of the times, my friends were very understanding and only too happy to delay our plans until another, more convenient day, or to cancel the plans altogether.
I myself don't plan a lot. If I have big plans, I keep them to myself and I try to do them first. But if I think I would need a help, I would just give a hint so they also have time to think for the possibility but I won't convince anyone.
I try not to break plans with people, but sometimes it's happened. Generally, it's either because of something that comes up at the last minute or because I'm terrible at scheduling and forgot that I had something at the same time. For instance, I had dinner plans with a few people this week, but had to cancel when I got the flu and was trapped at home.
I do try to let people know as soon as I can, though, and reschedule. I'd never just not show up. That's irresponsible -- it really doesn't take that long to tell people that something else came up or you made a mistake, and people appreciate that you let them know.
They'll usually be glad to change the date.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
