How do I avoid my friends when I don't feel like hanging out?
<|assistant|>
The best way to avoid your friends when you don't feel like hanging out is to be upfront with them. Let them know you need some alone time, and then suggest alternative plans if that's the case. If it's possible, suggest planning something in advance, so it's a bit less awkward when you don't want to hang out. Offering alternatives such as watching a movie or going for a walk, could help.
