How to End a Conversation Politely Have you met someone who kept talking and talking and talking, and you couldn’t get them to stop talking? You don’t want to be rude by telling them to shut up, but you really want to get out of the conversation. Here are several ways to help you. Use body language. While it may feel impolite, you could turn away, leave your headphones on, and avoid eye-contact, which will show that you are in no mood to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to stop talking later on. Keep working on whatever activity you are doing. Get up and move around, be active, and find little chores to do instead of listening. Interrupt them as soon as you can. Saying things like “I’d like to add something” or “If I could interrupt you for just a moment” will often let someone know that they are talking too much. Lead the conversation. This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you often talk to. Let them know that you heard what they said and guide the conversation in a different direction. Mention that you don’t have a lot of time to talk. Phrases like “I would love to chat, but I have to go for a movie right now” and “Today’s not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks” will allow you to easily end the conversation. Remember it is a skill to back out of a conversation without saying “You are boring. Shut up.” While reading True(T) or False(F)?
