In this short instructional video, speaker Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, outlines three concise, polite techniques for exiting an ongoing conversation when the other person continues talking. The first step is to politely interrupt by explicitly stating the need to interrupt, which acknowledges the interruption and reduces offense. The second step is to change location—excusing oneself to another room or the bathroom—without over‑explaining, emphasizing that the desire to leave is sufficient reason. The third step is to close with gratitude, thanking the other person for the talk, which signals the conversation’s end and provides a courteous exit. The video presents these tips as a simple, actionable guide for social interactions.

How to get out of a conversation. When you need to get out of a conversation and the other person just keeps on talking, number 1, tell them you need to interrupt them. For example, I need to interrupt you, or I hate to interrupt. By acknowledging that's what you're doing, they won't get offended. Number 2, change location. Tell them you need to go to another room. Maybe it's the bathroom. Maybe you need to go talk to someone. Whatever it is, don't feel like you have to give them a reason. Wanting to get out of the conversation is all the reason you need. And number 3, thank them. Say, "Thank you for talking with me," or, "Thank you for sharing that with me." It's a polite little bow at the end that tells them the conversation is over, which allows you to then leave. So try that and follow me.
