Caption: Start every phone call with "my phone is about to die" that way you can hang up on them whenever you want to.

Even simple lies like this stress me out. My method is to just abruptly say, "sorry, I've got to go" and hang up. If asked about it later, "I'd really rather not talk about it." They pretty much never ask about it later though. Zero lies, zero stress, and you don't have to keep talking on the phone.

Yeah, me and you must be one of the weird ones who hate to lie. Sometimes when in telling the truth I unintentionally sound really guilty though!

With close ones 'can't talk/communicate anymore' works, they met me before.
