I answered
respond direct and honestly that you don't want to do this, not worrying about being nice

I believe that you should always be honest, but that doesn't mean that you can't do it in a nice way. So I always worry about being nice, but that just means I have to try harder if I'm giving unpleasant opinions or turning someone down.
