I don't know if it was the way I was raised, or my birth order, or what other occult influence in my life...but I seem to be very unreliable. I am a good person who wants to help others...but when I volunteer myself or my time to those who need me...I seem to always let them down. Perhaps there is a bit of depression and low self-esteem coloring this perception, but I am looking for just general common sense advice on how I can become a man true to his word...a man who is reliable and responsible.
Answer:
Decide in advance that you ARE a reliable man. Actually speak those words to yourself in front of the mirror when you get up in the morning, at midday, and before you go to bed.
Do NOT accept any requests that you have any inkling that you may not be able to fulfill.
Start small. Agree to something you KNOW you can accomplish, and FOLLOW THROUGH. Keep accumulating these small victories. When you feel you are ready, move on to accepting other requests which may require more of your time.
The key is to DECIDE IN ADVANCE that you are a reliable, trustworthy man. Do NOT accept a task/assignment/request unless you are 100% sure you can and will see it through to the end.
Best of luck,

write everything down in a checklist with a due time on them. i am def. a procrastinator and when i really need to get htings done this is what i do. prioritize your list and have all the things you need to do in front of you. maybe also make of the list of things you want to do instead and then you can have a system where if you check off one item of obligations then you can do one of the fun things. you will feel good about yourself when you check something off- guarunteed!
Be like me--conscientious--constantly alert and attentive to your inner conscience, which is God's searchlight of your soul.
It seems to be a very serious question you are asking. It does mean that you care and that you want to be of help but cannot due to various reasons which you are relating to other factors. Firstly, you have to stop thinking about any one having any effect on you, it is you and you who is wholely and solely responsible. No occult influences, birth orders or the way you were raised can be held responsible for any irresponsibility. It is all in the mind decide and do it, do not be afraid of people or consider there reactions to something you believe to be good. Intend good and do good and just do it, slowly you will gain confidence. It is just a step away, first time you will hesitate the next time you will feel better with more self esteem and self respect. Try it. All the best
Be connected with God and you will have esteem for yourself.
God can help you to be a reliable and good person you want to be.
God loves you and you are precious to Him. Jesus died on the Cross to save us from condemnation; we therefore have hope of Heaven as our eternal home.
Never miss Heaven for anything in this world.
Just do it. It is hard for everyone to follow through at least once in a while. Being un-reliable is not a disease it is a choice. You are responsible for every single choice you make. Just remember that. Also ,Do not agree to things you can't/don't want to do.You'll be alright!
Use better words and phrases that better fit all of the outcomes you can give. It will take practice maybe even prewriting the words down in a book.
