Think about how you tend to act at the end of an evening at a friend’s house or a night on the town. Do you try to drag things out by starting new conversations and activities as others seem to be ready to leave, or do you say suddenly that it was a nice evening and dash out? Or what about some recent larger ending, like leaving a job or moving from a neighborhood? Did you say good-bye to everyone, or did you leave a day ahead of schedule just so that you could avoid the farewells?
