You know how when someone's talking to you about a irrelevant subject, and you just want them to stop or talk about something else, but they keep rambling. Is their a polite way to say, "Can you stop? You're boring me." or even body gestures showing bore in that topic or subject.
TIA for your answers.

Just sort of look away while they keep talking like you stopped listening to them because you can't pay attention.
ReplyDeletefidget a lot
ReplyDeleteor pretend you fone is on vibrate and your getting a call/ text
"excuse me i just forgot i had to make a phone call"
and pretend to call someone and dont go back
Just keep nodding and making one liner remarks like "yeah" "uh-huh" dont feed into the topic by saying anything more than that. they will soon realize.
ReplyDeleteif they're slow and dont realize, just start talking saying "not to change the topic but..." then go ahead and change the topic
Why don't you just say that they're boring you? It's short and to the point and they'll understand to shut up right away. But then keep talking to them about something else so they don't get all sad.
ReplyDeleteTell them, I'm sorry I don't know much about water sanitation practices..ancient Chinese embroidery..shorthand writing... so it doesn't hold much interest for me. This is pretty blunt but it should work with a minimum of unpleasantness. However it can backfire as they endeavor to enlighten you.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...maybe just excuse yourself from the conversation altogether.
Some people don't get it. I say, honesty is always the best policy. While being politically correct, of coarse.
ReplyDeleteIf it continues to happen, find a new friend. Life is too short to not have the best possible friends.
ReplyDeleteClose your eyes and start snoring.
ReplyDeleteHonesty is always the best policy...but, be careful, you don't want to be rude... A polite yawn might do it...or, if that doesn't work...you could pleasantly change the subject to something that is completely opposite of what the conversation has been...
