Avoiding Unwanted Conversations
To effectively navigate unwanted conversations, it is essential to remain disinterested instead of engaging directly. When faced with controversial topics, expressing uncertainty, such as saying 'I don't know' or 'I'm not sure,' can effectively diffuse the situation. This approach signals to the other person that you are not looking for a debate, and it diminishes their motivation to argue further. By not giving them the engagement they seek, it helps to take the excitement out of the conversation for them.
