The Conversation Intercept Escape
Getting trapped by someone who won't stop talking about themselves is exhausting. Here is the tactical script to regain your freedom without seeming rude or dismissive.
"Most people ruin their escape by waiting for a pause in the monologue that is never going to come."

Shift to the "Break & Pivot" strategy. Politely cut into their sentence by matching their excitement, anchor onto their very last word, validate it, and immediately walk away with a functional task.
