Anyone from time to time comes across unpleasant communication for him. Your interlocutor may be overly curious or annoying. The behavior of such people is based on psychological vampirism. How can you stop this communication while remaining moderately polite and calm?
Instructions
Step 1
Try using the cop-out method before starting the conversation. Tell them that you are expecting guests and you have once or your beloved kitty (dog) got sick and you urgently need to take her to the veterinarian. The main thing is not to enter into a conversation, from which it will not be so easy to get out later.
Step 2
Tell the other person firmly that you are busy. Feel free to interrupt the flow of his verbal outpourings. You can even lie about an event or something else. In this case, the lie will be good for you. Feel free to drop the conversation almost directly.
Step 3
Be curious about the conversation. Ask lots of questions, even if they are completely inconsistent. Throw the annoying interlocutor off the course of his story.
Step 4
Let the other person know that you are bored. You can use phrases such as: "I'm not interested in this …", "Let's talk about something else …", etc. At the same time, the topics for conversation you suggest should be absolutely unrelated.
Step 5
Use the phone call to rescue from the energy vampire. If they don't call you, then call someone you know or pretend to have called. Come up with some kind of stupid dialogue with an imaginary telephone interlocutor.
Step 6
Do not participate in the conversation, your silent presence is enough. From time to time nod your head, say "yes" or "no" out of place. The main thing for you is to try to keep for yourself the opportunity to think about something of your own.
Step 7
Do not try to become a personal psychologist for such a person, you do not need to try to influence his character and demeanor. All this will be completely useless for him, and at the end of such a conversation you will feel physical and moral emptiness.
Step 8
Imagine in the process of communicating with an annoying interlocutor that you are separated by a mirror facing your opponent, or imagine that you have a hat on your head or you are under an umbrella. All of these techniques prevent your energy from leaking out.
