The promise breaker friend
This friend constantly disappoints you or breaks promises, most likely because he/she was constantly disappointed during his/her formative years. Your friend is unable to stop him/herself from repeating that pattern. It is an annoying but comfortable pattern for your friend, and without psychological help, it may be hard for him/her to alter this pattern. You could abandon the friend and the friendship, or you could find a way to detach yourself by lowering your expectations for this friendship. If he/she promises to do something for you, even to meet you for a cup of coffee, you can say, "Sure," but protect yourself by knowing, in the back of your mind, that this friend "nine times out of 10" is going to cancel on you. :oops:
