I want to help them it's just that most of the tasks they ask me to do involve giving them items and I just don't want them to ruin their rooms. I already made this mistake a few times, and now three of my villagers rooms are unoriginal. It's really frustrating and also one of their birthdays is coming up and I want to give him a present but I'm worried whatever I give him he'll just place in his room. Any advice or help?
Will not doing favors for my villagers make them hate me?

I do some of the tasks. Like giving them fruit or visiting their houses. I don't give them fish, bugs or furniture. I've been playing for over two years, and I don't believe that it has hurt our friendship. They still give me their pictures. I do make sure not to tell them I'll do the favor, then not follow through. I just tell them no.

Also, I have 6 towns and I've noticed that the villagers don't ping very often when I first start my game. I have to have a higher friendship with them first. I always know when our friendship is getting higher when they ping as soon as they see me. My new town is a few weeks old and Eric always pings but the others arn't quite there yet. Erik was first in my town, and I talked to him more.

Personally, I usually only to do fruit and visit requests. They haven't shown any loss of friendship by me not fulfilling other requests such as bugs or fish. Sometimes I do those depending on what they ask for. As far as birthdays go, I try to get them a furniture piece that would look nice in their house even if they replace something original.
Well, let's just say that if you do not do some of the tasks, then your friendship with the villager may decrease. But it just depends on the task, and how difficult it is. It's better if you decline the favor rather than not doing the task for them.
If the task involves giving items, I'd say give furniture that you know will look good in their house. Maybe you can send letters with furniture attached. I personally do this because I know for sure one of my villagers will display it in their house.
Another thing is, I actually get bothered by favors that involve catching fish or bugs because the villager will end up putting it in his/her house.
For example, there was one time Blaire wanted me to catch her a shark (any), so I caught her an ocean sunfish and now the ocean sunfish is in her house. It took so much space, and I hated her house. Since I really didn't know what furniture to get her, I find what furniture she originally has--a cabana screen--and so I give her furniture from that series.
Besides favors, there's also the Re-tail shop, villagers buy furniture from others and it ends up being displayed in his/her house. I guess you should beware of what furniture the villager is trying to buy that way, you can tell the villager to not buy the furniture.

Really? I've found the complete opposite... It's better to say yes and not do it than reject them face to face?
Generally if it's a permanent villager and they ask for a random piece of furniture from my inventory I say no, but if they're simply asking for me to find them a furniture piece I'll go on the hunt for something that fits their aesthetic. If they ask for difficult fish/bugs I just say yes and don't do it - I also very rarely make the villager meet-up times at my house or theirs, but I've found if you're playing and don't show up, they generally apologise for standing ME up which is weird but good.
