Without being rude?

I imagine they needed this and i am their helping aid in life and as they speak i am feeling good becauuse they are getting help by talking to me

"Well ight imma let you go"

If it's over the phone

"I ain't gone hold you up"

If it's in person

"Lemme go to the bathroom rq"

Works for both

walk away

“I gotta head out”

But if you’re stuck, idk. Try to act tired and uninterested

i start to give dry responses

go to another room / area

damn that’s crazy

i usually engage the topic cause i know it’s gonna make homie feel less crazy to get all them thoughts out their dome

Tell em I'm at capacity

I tell them to k*ll themselves

Find an out

I’m due for a stroke in 10 so I best get to the hospital my brother

zone out like 65%, look at my watch/phone at the appropriate time

the bathroom one works every time

I have a related issue to that but our team lead is completely unable to not get her entiiiiiiiire point out in a very very specific drawn out manner bringing back and recapping the entire thing when we all kinda know what’s that or this is about

She told me she knows it’s an issue for her but I wonder if anybody else had similar experiences even from what I’m trying to describe

Damn that's crazy

Short answers or I just try to avoid them completely

Sometimes though I might be on a date or hanging with a shorty and she won't stfu so that's when I just passively listen but try to register enough where I can respond or answer questions

A recurring issue for me . My coworker constantly talkin to me . I’ve timed it and she has gone as long as 20 min str8 without stopping . I’ll have my headphones in and shell stil just start talking no matter what

The bathroom one is just band-aid, you need to address the root cause.

This one of my biggest pet peeves

I had this nasty fat old MAGA lady working with me and I’d purposely not respond and ignore her or just walk away. And she was too stupid to ever get the hint she would still yap to me constantly

5 across the lips

I find it hard to keep my attention on what people are saying. Half the time I’m staring into the middle distance having a whole separate and internal conversation with myself. Just nod and say yea so they don’t notice I’ve stopped hearing them

Just say kill yourself bro no need to censor
