If you tell people you’re not interested in their invitation eventually they’ll stop asking (good bc you don’t want to do it)
But the fear is that they’ll stop inviting you to stuff or liking you entirely (bad, so you keep agreeing to do stuff you don’t want to)

Great option for things you’re likely to be into in the future, less so for things your more certain you’ll never be interested in

hmm in that case i might be like "probably not gonna want to do [this sort of thing], but if you wanted to invite me to [other sort of thing] sometime i'd probably be down!"

and mild 😡 at the defectors who say this to be polite when turning down things they really would never go to, diminishing its usefulness for we whose social participation capacity is variable but still very much want to be friends
