Do you have trouble saying no to things that you don't want to do? My bet is that you probably feel entitled to give more information than you need to. Something to remember is that you are your own person and you do not have to feel like you need to give the deets. Here are some phrases to help you through the awkwardness:
-Thanks for asking me to your _____ . Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it.
If they keep asking... repeat yourself one time in a nice, yet firm, manner.
I appreciate your invitation, but I won't be able to make it.
-I have some personal things to attend to that I can't really explain right now.
-I am not interested in _____ . Thank you for calling.
What works for you?
