“No is a complete sentence.”

You do not owe anyone an explanation for your boundaries. Saying no is a way to protect your time, energy, and emotional space. Boundaries are not rude, in fact, they are healthy and necessary. Practice saying no without attaching guilt to it. The more you stand firm, the easier it becomes. Every time you say no to what drains you, you say yes to what restores you.
