ever get into a conversation where someone is asking a question that is discomforting such as the way one feels about their job? i have an interesting technique to get one out safely from such a scenario. however, there are two requirements involved: 1) you need good verbal skill; 2) you must be mentally superior to the person asking the question. if you meet these two requirements, you can handle what i'm about to reveal.
let's say someone comes up to you and asks you, "How do you really feel about your job?" worse yet, it's your manager or boss. you're unhappy but you don't want to admit your true feelings about the situation to avoid a potential situation. to deal with this, you can distract the person from the original question through a detour/digression. lead the person away to something related. tonight this happened to me so i said quickly, "Yes." But my manager attempted to push the issue (he was drunk though). I moved the discussion to about how a previous coworker would talk about how Japanese would argue over work while drunk. i managed to move the conversation away enough from the original question and evaded it.
you have to move fast and steer the question away towards something interesting and that makes the person forget what they asked.
