    But it’s so easy. It’s always looming in the background, tempting.

    It’s always there, whispering “run”, “just cover your ears and run”.

    “But what if it fails?” i ask.

    "Then do it again"

    One trick I learned. Ask the person talking what the time is. Repeat loudly whatever they say, then RUN AWAY!

    60% of the time it works every time

    No, no, as an adult you can definitely just run away screaming no; but you also get a new option of just shushing them, holding a finger up and sipping your coffee for a while.

    I mean I may not have much but I don’t stay in conversations I don’t care for and if im conversing with someone who does not seem to want to I try to end it quick and move on.
