How do I avoid my friends when I don't feel like hanging out?
user
When you don't feel like hanging out with your friends, but they approach you anyway, it can be hard to politely decline their offers. It is best to let them know why you are feeling this way and ask for a bit of space so that you can take some time to recharge. This could include stating something along the lines of, "Hey I appreciate your offer, but right now I just need some time alone. Could we talk soon?" A gentle and honest answer should go a long way into avoiding socializing when needed.

You could make plans with someone else and suggest that they come to pick you up, suggest doing something solo such as reading a book or working on a hobby, or suggest going for a walk and telling your friends that you want to be alone for a while.
