English term or phrase: cut talk short
Olá, tradutores!

Gostaria da opinião de vocês sobre a expressão "cut talk short" na seguinte frase:

"You usually express your emotions with passion and intensity. But there are some topics you prefer to avoid, and others are perplexed when you suddenly cut talk short."

A opção "corta a conversa" seria adequada para o contexto?

Agradecimentos mil! ;)

fica um tanto quieto


Explanation:
Acho que ficaria bom no seu contexto; menos formal que as outras sugestões, mas não tão informal quanto "corta a conversa".
