What are some effective ways to avoid conversations?

There are several strategies you can use to avoid conversations, such as using body language, wearing headphones, or finding busy areas.

Can you give me more specific examples?

Sure! You can pretend to be on a phone call, engage in a book or activity, or even use polite but firm responses like 'I need to focus right now.'

What if someone approaches me anyway?

If someone approaches you, you can maintain a friendly demeanor but say something like, 'I'm really busy at the moment, can we talk later?'

Are there any social cues I should be aware of?

Yes, look for cues like avoiding eye contact, closed body language, or even subtly stepping back to indicate you're not open to conversation.
