Expert Advice On When To Cancel Plans

HT - Lifestyle · lifestyle

Cancelling plans is acceptable when ill, emotionally overwhelmed, facing an emergency, or concerned about safety. It's also okay if attending would lead to resentment or distraction. However, using 'I don't feel like it' as a regular excuse can damage trust and relationships. Experts advise cancelling early, being honest, and acknowledging inconvenience. If the relationship is important, suggest rescheduling to show consideration for others' time and effort.
