[quote=Anonymous]I agree the key is to not give a reason but just give a firm but empathetic "no." The reason is that not only do you not owe anyone a reason but also some people are VERY pushy and if you provide reasons for declining something for them they will try to help "solve" the obstacle so that you can help them. Like if you tell them you don't have time they will literally come back and ask what your schedule is and try to "fix it" so that you can do them this favor. Of course not everyone is like this but enough people are that I just assume everyone will be this way and have learned to say "no" without providing excuses.[/quote]
