nah....I disagree, the key is to pick your battles, some things are worth putting your foot down for others arent.....
theres no point in being in a relationship If you cant have regard for peoples feelings...
Diplomacy is sometimes better than the truth
If I feel strongly about something Ill say no and put my foot down, if Im not really fussed Ill think of an excuse, its that simple
i see what you mean, but if its not really gonna be a issue why didn't you just do it instead of making an excuse?
And who said you had to be an a$$hole...you can throw right now at the end... like
"i dont feel like it....right now".
Diplomacy is BUILT on truth, friend. I can't parlay with you properly if you not being 100% wit me. It's Diplomatic to do it if it isn't going to bother you that much. Lying to someone isn't diplomatic its dismissive and its just gonna come up again. I'm not saying bug out over everything, but if its something you really don't want to do, why agree to it?
