Someone may have perceived something you said to them as a promise rather than a hope. They may be taking your words as an ironclad agreement that you would do something for them, rather than expressing that you would try if you could. This misunderstanding may be escalating, Leo. If you have tried to convey that your words were misunderstood, and they can’t accept that, there is nothing else you can do. This doesn’t mean you have to do whatever they want you to do, and you should not feel obligated.
