Avoiding responsibility is not a long-term solution, and it is usually better to deal with the problem head-on. However, if you want to reduce direct confrontation, you can consider some of the following techniques while trying to be honest and transparent: 1. **Communicate clearly**: Express that you understand the importance of the task, but there are other unavoidable priorities at the moment. This can show that you value the responsibility, but cannot participate due to objective reasons. 2. **Propose alternatives**: If you cannot fulfill the responsibility, suggest looking for other possibilities, such as recommending other more suitable candidates to take on the responsibility. 3. **Seek assistance**: Express that the complexity of the task exceeds personal ability and hope to work with others to ensure that the goal is achieved. 4. **Use time management**: Claim that you cannot take on additional tasks due to time management issues, indicating that you hope to be better prepared to participate in the future. 5. **Emphasis on the current situation**: Sincerely explain the current situation, such as dealing with other more urgent matters or personal reasons, to make others understand your situation. 6. **Increase transparency**: Let others understand the scope and burden of your work, so that they can realize the difficulties of adding new tasks. Continuing to approach responsibilities in a collaborative and problem-solving oriented manner can sometimes make people more understanding and tolerant of your sincerity and efforts.
