I have a lot of friends..and sometimes it just gets impossible to have some time to myself. How do I avoid friends without hurting them?

Tell 'em it's not convenient to see 'em right now ;)

The best way to do this is say that some of your other friends are having some emotional problems and you really need to spend time with them. If you are vague about who you are talking about you can avoid seeing anyone at all if you like.
This one works 100% of the time and you won't lose any respect from your inconvenient friends.

Be honest to yourself,you do not have to please them just to avoid hurting them!Show your feelings that you need to have space and say "no" directly and try to tell them that you have some important things to do! You have your own life and freewill, enjoy yourself,don't let them control your life!True friends understands and they are always there for you!At least you know who your real friends are!

Honesty is best policy...Just tell them that you need a eve or night to yourself to pamper yourself. If your honest with them and they are your true friend they will understand your need for some time alone. Good luck

Just explain to them that you haven't had much time for yourself lately and that you're in need of a bit of alone time and that you'd be happy to hang out with them some other time.

Just be honest. Real friends are going to understand. Just be honest because liars don't remember all the lies they made and you don't want to go there.
Just be honest. Be yourself or you won't live it down. You got a right to be on your own anc chill. Or invade their damn privacy and see how they like it.

Just turn your phone off... and go somewhere by yourself... and relax.. You do not have to offend your friends.... Just tell them you were busy.... You do not have to say doing what... You need your privacy..

Just like me. You don't answer the phone and keep going. When they call say the phone battery was low, and mine always is, and keep on going.

don;t answer their calls. Have caller ID machine so you'll know who's calling to avoid them.

Tell them the truth, if they can't handle it they aren't true friends.
