I pretend to listen to their football chats, like they may say a very short "very good" reply to a genealogy brickwall you have just demolished and am acting like you won the lottery.
When a chatty FB friend sends me another chat request, and I get a chat pop up, I then think "Time I was not here" and pretend I have not seen the message and log out or just stay logged in but not go on FB for a bit. I do think "I dont really wanna chat online right now" but would not go as far to block/unfriend them. It is like when you say "i dont mind Harry Potter" and they think you love it, and lend you their books, you are too polite to say no, so they sit on your worktop unread, you return them a month later and say "i really enjoyed reading them" but when they ask what was your fave story, you struggle, and cannot tell them that you have not read them as you are nowhere near as interested as they thought you were.
