Scheduled Zoom chats with family and friends have become the norm.
Sometimes, you don't feel like doing it.
Sorry not sorry, somewhat sorry.
How do tactfully you tell your people that you aren't in the mood to jump on Zoom with high school friends or cousins again?
Experts say the best way to get out of a pre-planned call is to tell everyone that you have a time limit.
For whatever reason, tell them you can only spend a certain amount of time on the call.
If you don't want to do a video call at all, be polite and say, "No, thanks."
Let them know that you need a break from screen time, and you will catch up with them later. (or show them the video above and tell them you don't feel safe on Zoom anymore)
You might've been expecting something more dramatic or different, but remember that honesty is the best policy!
Make the change positive and plan for a future time to chat!
