Ourling

Decline being the messenger

State when you do not want to carry a personal message between other people.

Try this

  1. Identify the role being requested: passing logistics, delivering criticism, or explaining someone else’s position.
  2. Decline the role you do not want. If you offer a contact detail or introduction, confirm that this narrower help is actually welcome.

A worked example

“I’d rather you tell them directly than have me pass that on.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Offer help arranging contact only if that is a role you actually want.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
