  • Redirect the Topic: Steer the conversation toward a positive subject by bringing up shared interests or recent, uplifting events. For instance, you could say, “Hey, did anyone hear about…” to gently shift focus.
  • Use Neutral Comments: If it’s hard to redirect immediately, respond neutrally, saying something like, “I prefer to focus on the good things about people.” This can subtly signal your discomfort without offending others.
  • Acknowledge and Shift: Validate the speaker’s feelings, then pivot: “I see where you’re coming from, but what do you think about…” This keeps the tone respectful and redirects smoothly.
  • Exit Tactfully: If all else fails, excuse yourself politely for a moment or find a reason to step away, allowing the conversation to move on without you.
