it’s less weird if you say no without the weird excuse.

okay so maybe it wasn't great but i didn't want to just say no without explaining why and the real reason is maybe too complicated.

i do not feel i can say but it is really about my ability to say no. or yes. it has nothing to do with you, you are lovely.

what? no. it's not like that. it was just a wager about me and the interns, generally. and now the wager's done.

i think it’s good to work on being able to say no in situations that you don’t want to say yes.
