There are times when a family member, friend, or colleague will be nice enough to invite you to spend time with them. Maybe they invite you out to the bar or a party. Unfortunately, you dont feel like going out. Instead, you want to stay in and watch Netflix all night while binging on junk food. However, you dont want to hurt their feelings, so instead of graciously saying no thanks, you just say, Sorry, I already have plans. Weve all done this, and if you havent, you probably will. You get your night of solitary pleasure and they dont feel rejected. It's just one of many little white lies that keep the world spinning.
