Another way is to try to find the kernel of truth or the interesting idea behind their crazy stories. Sometimes, there might be a hidden message or a unique perspective that we can explore. This way, we can turn their wild tales into an opportunity for a more in - depth conversation.
If it's bothering you, you could gently tell them that you prefer more down - to - earth conversations. For example, say something like 'I enjoy real - life stories more, can we talk about that?' It's important to be polite so as not to hurt their feelings. After all, they might not even realize their stories seem crazy to others.
We can just listen with a grain of salt. Maybe they just like to be creative and have vivid imaginations.
One way is to gently interrupt and redirect the conversation if it goes on too long. For example, you can say 'That's really interesting, but I want to talk about something else now.' Also, you can try to find a balance between being polite and not getting too drawn into their never - ending stories. If it becomes a problem in a group setting, you might have a private conversation with them about how they could be more concise when sharing.
We can simply walk away when a person tells bad stories. It's the easiest way to avoid being influenced by their negative tales.
You could gently tell them that you have limited time but still show interest in the key points. For example, say 'I'm really interested, but can you give me the main idea first as I have something coming up soon?'
Listen attentively. Sometimes, all they need is an audience. Just give them a chance to tell their story and show that you are interested.
We should support the mom. For example, if it happened in a public place, we can speak up for her. Let others know that her worth is not defined by a single incident.

It depends. If the stories are interesting and relevant, it can be good. It makes conversations lively.
Maybe they are bored and want to get attention. Telling crazy stories is a way to stand out.
Another approach could be to have a deeper conversation about values. Explain to him that the kind of stories he tells don't align with your values or the kind of relationship you want to have. Share with him your own values and how important it is for both of you to uphold certain standards in your communication. You can also suggest activities or topics that are more positive and respectful to focus on together, like discussing books, movies or hobbies.
Such a person is usually very creative and has a vivid imagination. They enjoy sharing their thoughts and experiences through stories.
