Thank you for thinking of me. I can't take on extra work, and I'd rather be honest than say yes and resent it.
If they push back: I understand you're disappointed, but my answer hasn't changed.
These are starting points. Adjust the wording to sound like you. If a relationship feels unsafe, speak to a licensed professional or a trusted support service.
Reflect on this in Symplia →Why this matters
Many people find boundaries easier to set when they have words ready. A short, clear and kind script can reduce rambling and over-explaining.
A script cannot control how someone responds. If a relationship feels unsafe, speak to a trusted person or a professional. This tool is not therapy.
How to use your results
Choose your situation and tone, add who it is for and what you need, then generate the script.
Edit it so it sounds like you. Read it aloud once or twice, then copy it.
