How to politely decline or decrease (or something) another person's invitations? Reason being - I seem to get a sense that this person just wants "someone/anyone" for company - and wants to fill up their time off. Somehow I am being invited (maybe I'm just one of the people on the list?). I mean it's ok for a person to make connections and have friendly get togethers, without any further depth. But it starts to turn into "and what are you doing tomorrow too". From my point of view - I don't want to get together with anyone two days in a row (even once a week is more than I want re: anyone). Like - space it out without crowding into my life - because it starts to feel like smothering, because my time is my time, and I don't want anyone hijacking my time. It feels like this person is planning my summer already (without input from me). And only to fill someone else's gaps. Right now I am thinking up reasons to decline, and I am unsure if I want invitations.
