Are you in an uncomfortable situation and you need to change the subject of a conversation? Well then you just need to follow some helpful guide tips and you should be able to talk your way out of anything.
Use distractions on your speaker to divert their attention on something else. Ask if they want something to drink. If they say they would get real specific. Ask what kind of drink, in a glass cup or plastic cup. Ask if they would like ice or not. Get real specific.
If its to late you're going to want to deploy an anti-conversation defense. You do this by listening for key words and using them to change the subject. Key words are locations, people, and specific details and use them to shift the subject in your direction.
When you get back into the conversation just mention about how you like things in a certain order and that's why you ask for specific details.
First listen at where the conversation is going. If you feel like it might be heading somewhere you don't want it to change the subject fast or get the hell out of the line of fire.
If all else fails be polite and simply tell the person that you don't feel comfortable continuing that subject and you are going to change it. Simply start by talking about something positive. Sure there will be some awkwardness but it won't be long lived.
If the subject is on someone else and you can see that they are getting really uncomfortable think about falling on that grenade. Make a simple fool of yourself and draw the attention of everyone on you. This will certainly take the heat off of anyone else and put it on you.
