Hello from New York again. I'm back with another "How do you deal with..." question. Please don't roll your eyeballs up to Heaven even though this question might be annoying as heck. Please? Okay. Here I go.
How do you respond to this type of comment:
Friend: 'Why don't you come to XXX with me and YYY and ZZZ?'
You: 'I can't I'm busy.'
Friend: 'Busy with WHAT?'
GRrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
How RUDE is that? Now why is it that when someone tells me that they're busy and can't go with me somewhere I accept it, but when I say I'm busy people try to strongarm me into doing what THEY want to do. It's none of their &$#@ business what I'm busy with! friends or not! Can't they just be mature and accepting??????? Furthermore, that question is not only rude, but snide and judgmental as well, as if to insinuate that my personal life is somehow deficient, which it isn't. IT MAKES ME SO BEET RED!!!
Now I know this sounds rude but my dream response would be to say: 'Okay we're NOT having this conversation. I said I'm not going. PERIOD.' Too harsh sounding .....especially when dealing with a friend. I need your comments and suggestions
Thank you kindly
