It might be best to maintain a polite stance and simply deflect the conversation by offering one-word answers or redirecting the conversation back to the other person. For example, you could say "uhh... nothing much" or "you know, I'm actually pretty busy right now". You could also pretend to be on your phone or engrossed in something else if you don't feel like having a conversation.

Ignoring someone who is trying to talk to you can be tricky. The best way to handle the situation without being too obvious or rude is to pretend you don’t see them or that you didn’t hear them. You could also remain quiet and avoid responding to their attempts at conversation. Additionally, if you are in a public space, it might be advisable to physically move away from the person while maintaining an polite and friendly demeanour.
