“I must wash my hair.”

“I have a headache.”

“My pet fish is stressed and needs me to stay at home.

These things can sometimes be true, but they are often just excuses to keep people from being alone and isolated.

You can forget about all the excuses and get out there with your friends or family to have some great times. It’s National No Excuses Day!

National No Excuses Day was founded by SCENE Canada, a Canadian organization that promotes social interaction. Don’t let your worries control you. Get out of your house and socialize. No Excuses Day, which is not a day to stay home, is the perfect time to get out with friends and enjoy a movie, dinner out, live music, or just hang out.

SCENE conducted surveys that showed that nearly 90% of respondents had made excuses for not attending social events with their friends and family. A poll by SCENE also revealed that 75% of respondents believed that social interaction is healthy and beneficial for their well-being. However, they also stated that the majority of people don’t get enough face-to-face time.

It turns out that Millennials are the most common age group to make excuses for not going out. The most common excuse is “I’m too tired.” “I’m too tired.”
