What is it called when you keep giving excuses to people because you don't want to do something for them?

When you continuously offer excuses to avoid doing something for someone, it can be referred to as "making excuses" or "excuse-making." This behavior often stems from a desire to evade responsibility or confrontation. It can also indicate a lack of interest or willingness to engage in the requested task. In some contexts, it might be seen as passive-aggressive behavior.
