YESS! I'll deflect next time as well!! Hmmm the issue though is sometimes even I don't know who to ask. Most of my helps are like for software coding stuff

one time, I got into similar situation to help others (not many as yours). I guess, there are two type of soft rejections you could do. "I don't know how to do it", or "I have no time recently". wonder if you feel bad if you say you don't know? no need to be keep an image of being a hero all time... :-)
