It\u2019s the act that\u2019s defined a generation, an experience so common it\u2019s become memeified: canceling plans. Bailing is a litmus test of sorts; who and what events you back out of says a lot about you as a person. Are you the type who commits and only bails when absolutely necessary? Or are you a frequent flake looking to change their ways? (No judgment here: The occasional canceling of plans is acceptable, and you shouldn\u2019t feel guilty about it.)<\/p>\n

\n

Call it a byproduct of overscheduling, a facet of introversion, or a condition of mild social anxiety, but bailing is a popular tool in our social arsenal. Regularly deployed mere hours ahead of a previously scheduled engagement we\u2019ve come to dread, canceling was once considered a get-out-of-obligation-free card. In recent years, though, general consensus around bowing out has seemed to shift, perhaps spurred by the growing attention paid to the dangers of social isolation or simply because being consistently bailed on feels like garbage. All of which is to say, canceling requires much more tact than simply rattling off a text 30 minutes before you\u2019re supposed to meet up with a friend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are, of course, valid reasons to skip a movie night (you\u2019re sick, for instance) and very few excuses good enough to justify not showing up to a wedding you RSVP\u2019d to. But rather than giving in to the impulse to flake when the urge hits, it\u2019s important to make a more considered choice based not on how much you think you\u2019ll enjoy a social event but on the consequences of skipping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Consider this your canceling checklist, a bailing thought experiment, a toolkit for bowing out. Taken together, the following five questions will help inform your decision on whether to skip a social engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Who are you bailing on?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Before flaking, take your audience into consideration \u2014 namely, whether this is a person you\u2019d be comfortable inconveniencing. Because we\u2019ve already invested significant time and energy into close relationships with family and friends, we\u2019re more likely to want to preserve those relationships by upholding plans. This past history can influence how comfortable we are with bailing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHow important is this person?\u201d Julian Givi, an associate professor of marketing at West Virginia University, tells Vox. \u201cDo I value this person\u2019s friendship, or are they someone that I\u2019m okay with canceling on? Have they canceled on me?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Close friends are complicated. In a study, William Chopik, an associate professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, found that participants reported being most upset when a best friend canceled on them, compared with when a good friend or acquaintance canceled. Ironically, though, that closeness gives us latitude. People also tend to be more forgiving when close friends cancel on them, Chopik says. By virtue of knowing someone so intimately, we understand the constraints on their time and can intuit they\u2019d only cancel for a good reason. It\u2019s also safe to assume we\u2019ll likely see them again soon, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We may feel less obligated to those we don\u2019t know well. The participants in Chopik\u2019s study said they\u2019d only be \u201ca little\u201d upset if an acquaintance canceled plans. So, if this is someone you don\u2019t know very well, and don\u2019t necessarily plan to, you might feel more comfortable ditching them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What\u2019s the occasion? <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A monthly game night and a funeral don\u2019t carry the same significance. You can probably guess which one is acceptable to skip. The formality of the event will give you a signal on whether it\u2019s alright to bail. \u201cPeople are more likely to cancel informal things,\u201d Chopik says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s fine to bail on a coffee hang, but think twice before ditching a wedding, funeral, retirement party, or other event of importance where someone might\u2019ve paid money for you to be there, even if you don\u2019t necessarily deem it a monumental occasion. \u201cIf it\u2019s super important to this person, I\u2019ll go, I\u2019ll move mountains, I\u2019ll traverse seas, I\u2019ll travel as much as possible or inconvenience myself a lot,\u201d Chopik says. \u201cBut then if it\u2019s more informal or you don\u2019t know them very well and the burden to get there is high, those things are the things that\u2019ll lead you to likely cancel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While it may seem acceptable to ghost on a group occasion \u2014 who would notice you\u2019re missing anyway? \u2014 your absence might alter the vibe. Take a bachelor or bachelorette party: If five of seven invitees back out, the celebration has shifted from a group affair into an intimate gathering. \u201cThose last two left are in such a weird situation where it\u2019s like, now I don\u2019t want to go as much because it\u2019s a smaller bachelor party,\u201d Givi says. Your bailing signals to the stragglers that the event isn\u2019t fun enough for everyone to attend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

How annoying is it for you to attend?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

How often do we schedule a hangout only to remember later how much of a burden it\u2019ll be to get there? The costs \u2014 financial, logistical, and energetic \u2014 all factor heavily into which plans we see through. A long and expensive commute for a short, casual hang when you\u2019re already exhausted may not seem worth it.<\/p>\n

\n

The problem is, we\u2019re bad at predicting how much fun we\u2019ll have. We tend to overestimate the costs and underestimate how enjoyable the event might be, which leads us to cancel plans. In reality, our worst fears almost never materialize. \u201cIf you\u2019re really anxious about it, it\u2019s probably not going to be as bad as you expect. And that\u2019s a pretty consistent finding,\u201d Ella Moeck, a lecturer at Adelaide University in South Australia, tells Vox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Everyone\u2019s bar for what constitutes \u201ctoo far\u201d or \u201ctoo much effort\u201d varies, though. Your canceling over a 15-minute drive across town runs the risk of pissing off a friend who doesn\u2019t consider that a hassle at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Concerning money, when people have already paid up front, they\u2019re more likely to stick with plans. In that case, canceling would create more problems instead of quelling them. \u201cThat\u2019s why anytime I\u2019m planning anything, especially if it involves money, I make people Venmo me weeks in advance,\u201d Givi says, for, say, a show or concert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What\u2019s your excuse?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In his study on canceling plans, Chopik found the most reasonable excuses for canceling were being sick, dealing with a family emergency or childcare issue, or having a work obligation. The worst justifications were mentioning something better came up, not being interested in the activity, and straight-up lying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Surprisingly, participants weren\u2019t sympathetic when someone canceled because of financial constraints. Chopik suspects the framing matters more than anything else: \u201cI bet if you communicated that \u2018I would\u2019ve loved to go to this concert and spend time with you\u2026but I just really can\u2019t squeeze this right now,\u2019 that\u2019s a way more understanding excuse than being like, \u2018That\u2019s too expensive. I\u2019m not going,\u2019\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The excuses themselves carry weight, but what they signal is also crucial. By telling a friend you\u2019re bailing on them because you\u2019d rather hang out with someone else, you\u2019re communicating that they might not matter to you. But if you provide clarity about why you can\u2019t make it and try to reschedule, that\u2019s a sign you value the relationship. \u201cIf it\u2019s just like, \u2018I\u2019m tired,\u2019 come on, you committed already,\u201d Givi says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What are the consequences?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Canceling plans comes with potential fallout. Bowing out of a recurring group event isn\u2019t likely to ruffle many feathers, but sending a \u201cSorry, can\u2019t make it!\u201d text minutes before a dinner reservation with out-of-town family members might not fly. Think about the position you\u2019d leave the other party in, Givi says. \u201cYou could imagine it\u2019s probably more acceptable the more time that there is before the event, the less meaningful the event, the less it\u2019s putting them in a bind,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But recent research suggests these social consequences may be overblown. In an unpublished study, researchers found cancelers tend to overestimate how upset others are when they back out and underestimate how much canceling impacted others. \u201cRealizing that canceled-on persons are more understanding than expected can reduce social stress,\u201d the authors write.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, this isn\u2019t permission to back out of events with abandon. If you do leave people in a tough spot \u2014 they need to cover your concert ticket, they\u2019re scrambling to find another way to get to an event you said you\u2019d drive to \u2014 be prepared for scorned parties to share some choice words about you behind your back. \u201cThere\u2019s this social penalty, too, that sometimes if you bail, people aren\u2019t crazy about that,\u201d Givi says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being in a relationship with someone \u2014 friends, family, romantic partners \u2014 requires us to honor our commitments. To be there. If we fail to uphold that simple promise, the invites will inevitably dry up. Who wants to keep making plans with someone who seemingly doesn\u2019t value them? How can a friendship blossom when you don\u2019t see one another?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIf you want a friendship, you have to honor those commitments and show up,\u201d Chopik says. \u201cYou have to honor the non-important stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
