[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is happening to our societ, that anybody thinks a normal reaction to an invitation of overture of friendship is to indicate in any way that you have plenty of friends so thanks but no thanks. This is not normal. I do think there is an overabundance of people in DC with the horrible combination of socially awkward with very self-important. No, you politely decline until they move on. Or, even better, give people a chance. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is that important that they can't just be kind.[/quote] +1 There are people I don't want to be "friends" with, but unless I absolutely loathe them, I will be courteous and polite and attend things they invite me to if I am not busy. It doesn't mean you have to be "BFF". You can be casual acquaintenances. IMO, this is the problem with East coast people. It's like there is some rule that you have your little BFF bubbles and can't go outside of it even to be polite or to have casual acquaintences. Now, if you cannot stand being around them, just politely decline, "Thanks for inviting us, but we can't make it". You don't need to offer excuses. If they keep declining, I think you need to get the hint. This is happened to me several times. Eventually, I stop reaching out, and vice versa.[/quote]
