Have you met someone who kept talking and talking, and you couldn't get them to stop? You don't want to be impolite by telling them to shut up, but you really want to end the conversation. Here are some ways to help you.
Use body language.
While it may feel impolite, you could turn away and avoid looking at his or her eyes, which will show that you don't want to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to stop talking later on.
Keep working on whatever you are doing.
Get up and move around, be active and find little things to do instead of listening.
Interrupt them as soon as you can.
Saying things like “I'd like to add something.” or “If I could interrupt you for just a minute?” will often let someone know that they are talking too much.
Lead the conversation.
This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you often talk to. Let them know that you heard what they said and guide the conversation in a different direction.
Mention that you don't have a lot of time to talk.
Expressions like “I would love to talk but I have to go for a movie right now.” will make you easily end the conversation.
Remember it is a skill to go out of a conversation without saying “You are boring. Shut up.”
