Polite ways to express dislike to acquaintance
When interacting with people you don't know well and need to politely decline, there are several phrases you can use. For instance, you could say 'It's not my thing' to explain a lack of interest. Another option is 'I'm not into that' or simply 'I'm not a fan' to convey your feelings without being negative. Using phrases like 'It's not my cup of tea' or 'I'd rather not' can help you decline gracefully and respectfully, allowing you to maintain a polite demeanor even when stating your preferences.
