Apr 26, 2018 at 20:24 comment added DarkCygnus @CaptainEmacs by saying "Sorry, I prefer my own hobbies" would of course be undiplomatic. There are many other ways to phrase it differently.
Apr 26, 2018 at 20:24 comment added DarkCygnus @Vermilion glad I could help.

Apr 26, 2018 at 19:07 comment added Captain Emacs Is it a lie? People are sometimes tired of doing stuff in a particular environment, but it does not mean that they cannot relax with a different activity in a different context and company. "I do not feel like it" is definitely not a formulation I would use, it is a good way to alienate people, unless you know them very well - but to me it looks like a lack of enthusiasm ("energy", in fact) to go.
Apr 26, 2018 at 19:04 comment added DarkCygnus @CaptainEmacs that would be lying actually, and would eventually lead to another lie, and another, just to cover this up. OP could also try to leave the hobbies for other time, but based on his description of his colleagues I am positive they will understand his decision. It is not like he is forced to go
Apr 26, 2018 at 19:01 comment added Captain Emacs Explaining the "real reasons" would be very undiplomatic. "Sorry, I prefer my own hobbies to your guys' ones". A better way is to link it to the family incidents draining the OP's energy.
