MODERATORS
In the (very good) video game pillars of eternity 2, an imp comes to tell you his wizard wants you to see him. If you respond with "I'll go if I have time" the imp replies "pfth. Who has time? You have to make time". Now I think about this a lot.
I've also learned that sometimes when people say they don't have time they actually mean they don't want to, but they think a small lie is more polite. Personally if I invite you to something I'd rather you tell me you're not interested so I know not to invite you in the future. But some people are cripplingly conflict avoidant.
