exiting conversations is such a cool thing to do. You gotta have some go-to phrases, and say them like it’s no big deal, because it is no big deal. I really enjoy leaving group conversations too. Just walk away and do something else if I don’t like what’s happening. “hey it was nice talking with you… I’m going to go grab a drink” “I’m going to see what’s happening over there“ “Excuse me, there’s someone I’ve been wanting to say hi to“ “I have to go powder my nose/use the WC/see a man about a horse”

Such a feeling of power and decisiveness when you're the one to say "welp I'll be seeing you" instead of letting things peter out.

Maybe this should be a last resort, but it's what I often find myself doing: just plainly letting them know that you are moving on. Hopefully you can also say you enjoyed talking with them. "Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. I'm going to drift along now." "Thanks for sharing what you did. I'm going to move along, but will be thinking about _____." Also, turkey — wondering about this question... is this a general ask or do you have a particular person or situation in mind?

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
