What do you call a person who makes several promises but does not mean to keep/materialize them?

What do you call a person who doesn’t have word of honor?

What do you call a person who doesn’t attempt to achieve his/her plans?

Most people would call them unreliable.

As to why they are unreliable can have many different reasons. If it is you or someone else don't be quick to judge. Lots of different problems can cause this.

For example my depression causes me to be unreliable. For a long time I would tell people what they wanted to hear or make commitments because I really wanted to fulfill them. All the best intentions but could often not follow through. I had to learn not to commit to things I may not be able to do. I can't help being deeply depressed at times but I can be realistic about what i can do. If I take on a big job that is going to happen a month from now and I am doing really good right now, I am still taking a risk that I won't be doing good in a month. Usually it always works out. I think only twice I had to cancel jobs and the people were understanding. My daughter and family it is different. I have let them down many times in the past. Even now if I don't make any promises or commitments if I can't make it to Thanksgiving they are disappointed.

Are you claiming, that You are this kind of person? If so, stop doing this. You are not perfect.

Who are they? . . . NOT: who am I? I asked here because I don't understand why there are people who can't be consistent. I know that no human being is perfect, only God is perfect. But I have words of honor and can keep promises.

Thunder Bow, you are out of line!!! Thanks zinco14532323, you made me understand why but I wonder if most who are suffering from depression are unreliable.
