This is the Vault. Scripts live here so you don't have to find the words when your social battery is already low.

Take what you need. Use it word for word. No editing to sound nicer.

1. For plans you can't do:
"I can't make it."
That's a complete sentence. No excuse after it.

2. For tonight:
"Can't tonight. Recharging."

3. For pushback about a decision:
"That's just what works for me."

4. For an invite you want to pass on kindly:
"I'll have to pass this time, but thanks for asking."

5. When you need time before you answer:
"Let me check and get back to you."

Then actually give yourself the time.

No sorry tour. No fake emergency.

Save the one you need for this week. The rest will be here when you need them.

Quiet People, Loud Limits.
