I've just started being honest with people. That can make people upset too but at least the awkwardness comes to an end sooner. I hated being non-comittal and waiting for the other person to get the hint. It leads to having an incredibly small social circle but that's what I prefer.

Same. I quit drinking so when I started getting invited to the bar I’d be like, “nah I don’t want to go there, want to go ride bikes to the river for a doobie or something?” And of course not. So I have far fewer friends. Although, the few that did want to ride bikes to the river are healthier now too!
