There are often times when we want to end a conversation as quickly as possible.

However, not everyone knows how to do this painlessly for another person.

Let's figure out how to quickly end a conversation without offending anyone.

Ways to End a Conversation Quickly

In a conversation that is unpleasant for you, it is important to maintain a neutral intonation. If you show emotion, the interlocutor may latch on to it and continue the conversation.

There is one effective way to interrupt a chatterbox's monologue. Try to interrupt him with an unexpected phrase and then offer to continue the conversation. Most often, this throws chatterboxes off their train of thought.

The method of asking leading questions like "What exactly did you want to say?" also works well. The more often you ask them, the more embarrassed the chatterbox becomes.

Another method is to refer to the fact that you have a meeting in 10 minutes and therefore cannot talk for long.

If we are talking about a face-to-face meeting, then you can set an alarm that will ring at the right moment and supposedly remind you of urgent matters.
