Are you an Introvert? Some Tips on a Travel

 Some people, when they travel, they are very persuasive. Talking to strangers at the pubs and always willing to make friends with others.

A big no for introverts. Introverts are like battery operated devices, they need to be recharged within to be able to work while extroverts are like solar powered, they are being recharged outside to work. The question is, how do you deal with etiquette to anyone in this world traveling with a lot of extroverts? Well, how do you say to shut up in a polite way when you’re seated next to a talkative person?

Be direct. Be gentle and polite in a kind tone as possible.

What if the person did not listen and continued talking?

You can say extreme excuses like “I am really sorry, but I prefer not to talk again. Excuse me if I do not respond’.

For example, you are at a B&B at a big shared table?

It depends on how the B&B is arranged, you might just want to eat elsewhere if you can. Try to check if there is a chance of having food to go. Hosts are aware that there is a range; some people prefer to be on their own.

What if the taxi driver would not leave you on your own?

For Taxi’s or Uber’s, some may start asking you some questions, try to answer in on or two, but you can tell them that you may need a rest as you are tired from a long travel. Try to give reasons for you not to continue the conversation.

If it happens that you encounter a talkative person, a nosy staff on a customer support call, let us say an airline?

Try to have an expert tone. You may say ‘I am a little pressed for time’. This is one of the best ways to stop a bad situation. These conversations are recorded, so if the staff want to follow the rules then let them stick to business, let them keep chit-chatting, it will only result in a wasted time.

Are you expecting to be left alone if you sit at the bar on a dinner?

Not. When you sit at the bar, people may possibly sit next to you and start a conversation. If that is the only available seat and if they refused to seat singles at tables, you may say an excuse like ‘I hope you understand but I am not in the mood to chat.’

Does bringing a book will let people to leave youalone?

Nowadays, mobile phones are one of the tricks. It works sometimes, but for a chatty person, it doesn’t.

No matter how you politely say it, some people might be offended. Do not take it seriously, you have done what is right and it is not your responsibility to entertain them.
