My friend is an officer in a department club. She needed someone to help her emcee an event and asked me. I told her I wasn’t comfortable with hosting and preferred being behind the scenes. She kept insisting that I would grow from the experience and said it would boost my confidence. I still said no.
On the day of the event, she tried to hand me a script and said I needed to step up because the original co-host backed out. I told her again I wasn’t doing it. She looked stressed and said I was putting her in a difficult position.
I felt bad, but I never agreed to host in the first place.
AITA for refusing?
