Top 10 Ways To Avoid Talking To Someone

There are many such situations in life we face where we have to ignore some people who are or were close to us. This situation can be really a torturing one as it is very difficult to pretend a thing. If it is a well established reason which is known to the person as well, makes it easy but when we secretly try to cut off our communication with a person and try to ignore them or avoid talking with them it gets really difficult. This situation is faced by many of us almost many times in life where we don’t like to talk but cannot help so we try to avoid the talks. But, the question is how to avoid? Here is an attempt to list top ten ways how you can avoid talking to someone.

 

1. Appear to be Texting:

Texting

When you get bored or just don’t want to be in a communication, take out your cell phone and pretend to be texting someone. Pretend as if you are completely into it and if possible dig your head into the monitor as if the conversation were the most important thing in your life. If the person begins walking over to you, say out loud, “Oh, my God. This can’t wait any longer”, and begin texting even faster. The person will assume you’re busy, and will leave.

 

2. Type on a computer:

Typing

Another useful way is just start to type vigorously on your computer as if you are typing the most important document of your life. This will make the person assume that you are really busy and might leave. If the person doesn’t leave, just keep mumbling in your mind and put a tensed reaction on your face. This can drive him or her away thinking you are really busy.

 

3. Pretend to get a call:

Calling

This is another way to avoid talking. If you are getting bugged by someone or some talks which you are least interested in just pretend to get a call and walk out. This can be done by using the self call option in your cell phone, where it will practically ring and you can move out. Otherwise also you can use this technique as the cell phones most of the time remains in silent mode and you can easily pretend to get a call. The important thing here is fake a little talk near that person and then move out so that the person believes the situation.

 

4. Look Frustrated:

Frustration

This is another way to drive people away from you when you don’t want them to talk with you. This can be done by pretending to be frustrated and showing and reflecting impatience in your behaviour. You can show your frustration by beating the desk or just simply shouting on yourself. Jus project that you are really disturbed and the person will surely move away.

 

5. Tell lie that you have a Meeting:

In a meeting

Another most common way of avoiding a talk is pretending to be set to leave for a meeting. This is a very useful trick as it is always helpful. Just say that you have a meeting with a doctor or an old friend or someone. You can escape the person by telling this and moving out. Just be in a hurry and rush out saying cunning sorry. Make sure you plan it well and don’t let the person feel that you are pretending.

 

6. Act to have a Stomach Pain or a Head Ache:

Ache

This is another useful technique to avoid a talk. You can jus suddenly pretend to have a stomach ache or just act that you are seriously suffering from a pain. This action of yours will drive the other person out as no one would bother you when you are not fine. Just use this idea to avoid talking with someone.

 

7. Deny Talking to anyone:

Deny

This works when you are already expecting someone to come up to you to talk and bore you or someone you want to avoid. You can just pretend to not talk with anyone or show you are really busy If all else fails, simply tell the person you don’t want to talk. If they ask you to talk about something, say to them, “I’m sorry, I’m really busy right now”, “Can I talk to you later please? Thanks”. Consider putting up your hand to separate you and the person while saying this.

 

8. Get into the restroom:

Restroom

This is another trick that will help you to avoid the communication. This is a tried and tested one and you can apply this trick to save yourself from getting bored or for avoiding a talk. Just suddenly stand up and say you have to go to the rest room and then just leave. This will make the communication break the flow and thus you will be able to avoid the person or the talks.

 

9. Don’t pay much Attention:

Distracted

This is a valid and a very useful trick too. What you do here is hurt the ego of the person by not paying attention to him or her. Whatever the person is talking, if you are not as interested just don’t pay attention to the words. For example, if the person is talking something, you are least bothered about, just behave as if you are not listening. Keep humming a tune, do some unwanted work like cleaning the desk or any such things. This will make the person either realise that you are not interested or angry that he or she will leave themselves.

 

10. Say straight at the face:

Say straight at the face

This is the last resort you would like to use. If you see that the person is too sticky and is not ready to leave you and is constantly boring you, you can just straight away say at his or her face that you are not interested in talking with them. This will surely make them realise the fact and will make them stop talking.
