How to use "Excuses" in context?
When we are faced with difficult tasks or situations, we often find ourselves coming up with excuses. We may say things like "I'm not able to do that," or "It's not my responsibility." But in the end, we are responsible for ourselves and our actions. Here are some common excuses, and how to handle them:
1. "I'm too tired."
Most of the time, if we are actually tired, we will feel it. But sometimes, because we are trying to avoid a confrontation or because we are stressed, we act like we are not tired at all.
