Have you ever been faced with a choice in which you are expected to do something (say… entertain an uninvited guest) but every fiber of your being screams out NO NO NO. I cannot. I cannot because I am tired. I cannot because I didn’t expect company at this time and I am prepared only for the movie that I rented and my flannel pajamas that I am wearing. No. I cannot socialize and I am sorry but I just know that if I have to make small talk or even large talk, I will slam my head against the wall?

So have you ever had to say NO and then have people feel offended?

Yep…me too.
