How to avoid Massage Therapists talking about philosophy

[yetineti]

In person, for appointments, I only speak when I am spoken to or if I have a question.

Otherwise, I just say ‘yeah.’ Most people do not continue talking.

If they do, I just keep saying ‘yeah.’

Maybe they get weirded out and ask ‘everything alright’ and I say ‘yeah.’

Then maybe they keep talking but I tune them out and remain silent.

If they catch the vibe and ask if I want to talk I say ‘not really.’

If they ask me random questions I don’t care about, something about knowing a word or whatever I say ‘I don’t know.’

And that feels honest to me. I don’t know. I don’t even know if I know in that moment. I don’t care to. Massage!

Earbuds obviously work too. I just usually have this problem at the dentist, haircuts, etc. So sometimes there are legitimate questions and also I like zoning out.

If I was at a massage and I didn’t want earbuds/and a grown man was asking me dumb questions I’d probably try to get a new massager or just straight up tell him ‘I don’t want to talk’— assuming he starts talking my ear off.
