Preview β The Goal
π― The Goal: You've been nodding at the same story for ten minutes, phone-glancing like an amateur, mumbling 'anywayβ¦' into the void. Trapped-in-conversation is a universal drain β and the escape is a learnable two-part sentence: a positive wrap-up + a firm, time-bound move. 'I loved hearing about your project β I'm going to grab a fresh drink. Let's catch up later!' No lies, no fake phone calls, no victim. Clean exits are a KINDNESS, and the person who masters them talks to more people, not fewer.
