    Thank you. This is such a breath of fresh air. In all cases I prefer a simple answer, when organising an event with multiple people where I want to get ideas on numbers for planning.

    • Yes - great! See you there

    • No (with or without a reason) - fantastic! We’ve all got our own stuff going on or reasons why we don’t want to go!

    • Maybe, with a reason why, or when you would be able to give an answer - cool!

    • Maybe, with no further explanation - ugh. I’ll just assume you’re not coming and don’t care.

    Maybe with no explanation is the cowards way out. Especially when “no sorry, I’m busy!” is the standard white lie.

    “No because I don’t want to (don’t feel socially up to it)” is the hero’s response and I salute you 🫡
