other times
Not right now
Other times introduces a contrasting situation or behavior, typically paired with "sometimes": Sometimes she's friendly, other times she won't even look at you.
It signals variability or inconsistency across different occasions.
The phrase can stand alone when the contrast is implied: Other times I just stay home.
