For anyone who has ever seen We should all hang out! in the group chat and immediately put their phone down.
It's not that you hate people.
You have friends. You love them dearly.
You would simply prefer if everyone remained in their respective homes tonight.
100 Good Excuses for Avoiding People - for the Classy & Sassy is a funny, painfully relatable little book for introverts, homebodies, socially exhausted adults, small-talk avoiders, and anyone whose social battery somehow reaches 1% before they've even left the house.
Inside are 100 perfectly reasonable* excuses for avoiding unnecessary human interaction, including:
- I would come, but then I would have to be there.
- Unfortunately, I already spoke to someone today.
- I'm sorry, but that sounds dangerously close to socializing.
- I'm staying home because every outing eventually ends with someone saying, 'We should do this again.'
- I'm not avoiding you specifically. I'm avoiding the entire population.
- I'm sorry, I can't. I have people tomorrow.
*Reasonableness may vary.
Whether you're recovering from work, avoiding small talk, protecting your precious alone time, escaping another group activity, or simply refusing to put real pants back on, there's an excuse for the occasion.
The perfect funny little gift for:
- Introverts
- Homebodies
- Social battery survivors
- Quiet people with loud group chats
- Small-talk avoiders
- Overthinkers
- Socially exhausted coworkers
- Friends who always cancel plans
- Anyone who considers no plans actual plans
- And that one person who mysteriously disappears from every party without saying goodbye
Keep it on your coffee table. Leave it beside your bed. Give it to your introverted best friend. Keep a copy near your phone for emergencies involving phrases like Come on, it'll be fun!
Funny, relatable, and deeply supportive of your decision to remain exactly where you are.
Because you don't dislike people.
You've simply already seen enough of them this week.
