"Nobody likes a person who is constantly coming up with excuses."

Im only beginning to realise what you said up here. I've failed someone a couple of times when she needed me the most and i unconsciously come up with excuses. Now i can say her affection towards me as dwindled. Im sure of it. Not that we are in a romantic relationship or such, i happen to be a mentor. Thank you for pointing this out @chbartist. Sorry ive been away for some time, couldn't contribute to the community. Work is really time demanding this days.
