How do you deal with people who want to talk all day long about boring, trivial things?

I adjust my body language and turn away from them slightly, usually they "get the hint"

@Keeper I love that show!!
Keeper · M
@ChampagneOnIce it's quite entertaining 🙂

@Keeper I’ve been watching it on Netflix during my lunch break. I’m toward the end of season 6 and already sad there’s only one season left. 😢

Avoid them whenever possible.... wear my earbuds... and if all else fails, "I'm sorry but I'm one of those people that can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time. I need to get this done, but maybe we can talk later."

I’m horrible at it. I just get irritated. I try to just breathe through it. My mom lives with us, and everything she talks about fits your description.

if i'm stuck with them, I mute their voice, put my head on shaking time to time as in agreeing mode, then ride my unicorn

Tune them out and focus on my own thoughts. If they continue to fo it for long enough, though, I'll confront them about it.

I usually listen for a few minutes then excuse myself by telling them I'm super busy with something.

I'll spend the time thinking of ways to avoid having to spend all day with these people again.

I talk with them about those things because it's not like I have anything better to do.

“I’ll be right back”
“I have to take this call”
You get the idea...

Roll my eyes and sigh 😄
