    Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about how to steer conversations when things get uncomfortable or off topic. Sometimes I freeze up when I need to change the subject smoothly without sounding rude or obvious. I recently came across an article titled 12 genius ways to change the subject and it had some interesting ideas about redirecting discussions in a clever polite way. I’m curious what are your go to methods for switching topics gracefully in social or work settings? Do you use humor questions or distractions? I’d love to hear your real life tips and experiences for mastering the art of conversation redirection!
