I run away from situations that would make me give my word as a promise. I do not like to make promises. The main reason why is that if I do make one, I must make sure that I fulfill it, whether or not it puts me through strain. And I don't enjoy putting myself under such pressure. As humans, we're likely to not keep our words cause certain situations are beyond our control, but then, people hold you by your words, and it's often a lot.
I avoid giving my word to anyone as much as possible, because I don't know if I'll be able to keep my promise. That's why I only try to promise what I know I'm really going to be able to do, I think it's better to say no straight away than to lie/promise something I'm not going to do.
