INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Come up with something about how it has been lovely talking but you really need to either say your piece, or perhaps leave now. For example: "It has been so good to learn everything you've had to say Sally but I'm really pressed for time now, and I do have to let you know that X and then I have to go. Do you mind if I just quickly explain this, then bolt off? We can catch again another day." In some cases, it's okay to just say "see ya" and take off or go into your own world. Are you out grocery shopping, getting your nails done, walking the dog down the street or sitting in your house when a neighbor comes over? If you were or are doing any of these things, it is alright to completely get up and walk away or just make a gesture that you've heard but you're now concentrating on something.

You have had enough so they have earned such abruptness when they simply won't stop. Once they finished being shocked and realized what you've done, then either apologize for being a but too brusque or even stand up to make a move to go away. Either way, it will make them think twice next time about ear-bashing you, knowing how it affects you. A less bossy way could be to infer that they are just talking too much by making a statement such as: "The quieter you become, the more you can hear." Or "Shhh, can you hear that? It's the sound of just being." If the person has been gossiping, some curt lines include: "If you can't be kind/positive, at least be quiet." Or, "So much to say about the same issue! It suggests to me you really aren't as blameless as you're insisting." Or, "If it's not your story, then don't tell it." If you're feeling totally fed up and mean, opine: "The secret to being boring is to say everything." Just be aware that it's likely to cause the other person to be shocked.

SUMMARY: Interrupt and ask them nicely if they won't stop. Identify the situation. Stop listening. Make gestures. Go join another conversation with people you actually know. Make excuses. If nothing from the above works, firmly say "Please be quiet for a moment!

If you do not know the people to whom you are bowing, engage in a more pronounced bow and reserve gentle nods for acquaintances or known colleagues. In an informal setting, feel free to offer up a handshake, but do not be too firm or aggressive. Instead, keep your hand loose.

Rather than holding a firm handshake for ten seconds or more, grasp hands for a maximum of five seconds before letting go.

If you are familiar with someone, however, don't feel you have to shy away from smiling or grinning.
