So it seems you've run yourself into a very uncomfortable situation. The reason the situation is awkward or why you want to leave is beyond the point and in fact, none of my concern. I'm here to give you some easy tips and tricks on how to leave an awkward situation.
1. Come up with an excuse.
A classic that definitely deserves the top spot on the list. Come up with anything: you have an appointment, you forgot something of yours where you were earlier, you're expecting a phone call, you have to plant a tree, you haven't eaten in four days, etc. Be sure to have an array of different excuses each with enough detail and ambiguity to be believable and untraceable.
2. Rope in a friend to assist you.
Let's be honest, this is basically the first trick but with help. It is so effective when you have another person to solidify the the truth in your blatant lie. Simply text your friend "call me with a fake emergency in two minutes", they'll call you and you'll excuse yourself and 'rescue them'. Make sure you have the kind of friend who knows whats they're doing. The last thing you want is a friend who will make an already bad situation worse. Their upstanding behavior and inability to aid you in your lies is truly unhelpful. You don't need that kind of drama in your life.
3. Leave
You'd be surprised how effective it is just to leave without saying anything. Let the others come up with their own explanation. There is also strength in this tactic because it can let someone know that you don't like what they said and leave them to think about it. The stiffer and quicker you can make your walk the better.
4. Pray the Earth swallows you whole

This technique has yet to work for me but it's always worth a try. If you have success please contact me and let me know of your results.
5. Throw yourself out of the nearest window.
Always a great statement and conversation piece for later. If the situation is just so bad, sometimes the only option you have is to raise the stakes. Chances are you won't survive the fall and never have to encounter an awful situation ever again. As a plus the people who created the situation will hopefully assess what made you jump out a window and make the connection that *gasp* it was them?!?
6. Sue them
Find yourself in an uncomfortable situation? Put an end to it by suing the guilty party. A pro being that you'll make some money off of this technique, a con being that people will hate you and you yourself will become an uncomfortable situation. So there's that.
7. Move away into the woods and never speak to people
For those who maybe frequent my articles you'll find that this is a frequent option no matter what the advice is for. I stand by the fact that so many of life's problems can be solved by leaving society behind.
