Explaining is hard. It was never easy before and it surely is not easy now. It depends on the person. Usually someone close to us may understand, at least to some extent.
Here is what I have learned: there are people who only care about themselves and make an opinion about another person based on their 'little rules', Interesting enough, if you meet that person 10 years later, they have not changed - at all - and have the same opinion of you. They also say the same things, use the same sentences and words as they did before. Boring...
I never liked to play '20 questions'. I respect other people's privacy and know that they will tell me whatever they want when the time is right.
We have a right not to play their games. When there is an invitation, say what you feel at the moment. Very politely, decline and wish them a good time. Smile and leave it at that.
It just might work...
