There is a way to change your mind without scandal and with partial benefit to yourself.
This is worth remembering.
Refusing a request when you have agreed to it is always difficult, because our psyche perceives the possibility of social rejection as possible physical pain.
Therefore, you should treat your own doubts philosophically and not scold yourself for them.
However, it is still worth saying that you cannot fulfill this promise. And you need to do it tactfully and on a good note.

Be sure to apologize for the mishap and try to end the situation on a good note.
