One way is to use body language. Cross your arms, turn away slightly, and give him non - verbal cues that you're not interested. If that doesn't work, you can say that you have an urgent matter to attend to and need to leave. Another option is to start talking over him with your own story or topic, so he can't continue with his creepy tale.
If there's a creepy guy telling a story, you should first try to distance yourself from him. For example, find an excuse to move away or leave the area. This can help you feel safer.
One way is to focus on facts. Every time you catch yourself in a made - up story, ask 'What are the real facts here?' For example, if you think you're not liked at work because of a story you're telling yourself, look at actual interactions. Maybe people are just busy. Another way is to practice mindfulness. It helps you stay in the present moment and not get lost in your head - stories.
Education is key. By teaching girls about appropriate social behavior and the importance of privacy and respect, they are more likely to refrain from such behavior. For example, in school, educators can include these topics in moral education classes.
You can simply tell them that it's inappropriate. Just be straightforward and say that such stories are not welcome.
Society or a community can stop us if the story goes against its values. If the story promotes something unethical or harmful like discrimination, the community may put pressure on us to stop.
You can directly tell them that such stories are inappropriate and make you uncomfortable. Be firm in your stance.
You can also try to shift the focus. For instance, 'Your story is great, but I really wanted to share something with you quickly.' Then start talking about a different topic briefly, so he gets distracted from his endless story.
First, be aware of the reasons why you tell lie stories. Is it to avoid getting in trouble or to seem more interesting? Once you know the cause, you can start to address it.
You can say something like 'I really enjoyed that story the first time, but let's talk about something new now.'
One effective way is to build a reputation for being private. Let people know that you value your personal stories and don't want them spread around. If someone still tries to tell an embarrassing story, you can pull them aside privately and have a serious conversation about how it makes you feel. Explain that it's not just about that one story, but about respecting your boundaries in general. This can often make people more aware and less likely to share your embarrassing tales.
