You want to be able to block out everyone around you and have people not talk to you, but you don't know how.The purpose of the article is to teach you how to accomplish your goal.
Step 1: An alternate mode of distraction can be found.
Carry a book or electronic device with you and use it at all times.
Step 2: Work on something that requires concentration.
It needs the use of two hands and your eyes in order to be portable.The other person will think you are busy and will try to avoid you.
Step 3: If you are spoken to, act as if you have lost your mind, and reply curtly.
If possible, answer with a "yes" or "no".Immediately after, resume with faked enthusiasm.
Step 4: Use sarcasm and extensive vocabulary if they keep talking to you.
If you spoke to a simpleton, you'd say every word.Show your dislike of the constant chatting and end the conversation with something like "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to what I was doing."Before they have a chance to reply, turn away.
Step 5: Don't look at their face at all.
Don't get caught staring at anyone, this will encourage conversation.Unless that person is a higher authority than you, or has connections with someone that does, look away and go back to what you were doing before.
Step 6: The body language was closed.
If you sit, keep your knees together, your feet tucked under you, and your thighs on your elbow.If you are working on something, put it in front of your face.If standing, cross your arms over your upper torso and shift your gaze to your feet, as if you were impatient to leave.
Step 7: Don t smile, whatever you do.
If there is a rain cloud, act like it is over your head.If you are in a bad mood, you should shag a lot.If the situation demands it, smirk or have a closed-mouth-smile.You don't gain any friends, but that's not what you're after.
Step 8: Stuff your face in a book and listen to an iPod.
Sit in the corner and live in your fantasy world.You can use your phone for texting.Go to the bathroom or out for a smoke.If you act tired, find a way to go home early.
