What confuses you most in life, and why? (University of Virginia)

Things that confuse me is when a person says something, but then they never stick to it. If a person says to you I will take you out to lunch next week. Then that person should stick to his or her word. Why say something and then never end up doing it? People who want to lose weight say that they are going to eat less and exercise more, but what they end up doing is missing healthy meals and cooking noodles for themselves. Which doesn't really help them lose any weight instead one just gains more weight. When you say your going to end up doing that one thing, then well one must try to actually make that thing happen. If you make a promise to meet your friend, make it happen. Because if you don't you end up crushing your friends hope. Why do people say things that they know they will never be able to do? Not only do you waste your time by saying things, but also the other persons who is listening to you.

Another thing that confuses me is when people tell me about the best conversation they had, they did not talk they just sat down without speaking a word to each other. How is that a conversation? If you both were silent then thats not really a conversation. A conversation means speaking and having something to talk about, not sitting down quietly trying to listen to each others heart beat? Maybe the two have this gift that they don't need to literally talk, but maybe their minds connect. However, thats still not a conversation. I always thought that a conversation has to be between two people, where people actually talk.
