Dealing with a Bad Goodbye

People hate saying goodbye for mainly sentimental reasons.
This section is for those of you who have other issues, and know that an upcoming farewell is, in fact, a Bad Goodbye.

And a farewell rescue is in order!

What makes a farewell go bad (fare-ill!)?

You will have very strong and difficult emotions during the farewell event, and/or

you are shy and hate attention, and/or

you know that the farewell event will be generally socially awkward and painful, and/or

you know that the farewell speech given for you will be long and painful, and/or

you just never can say goodbye.

More often than not, fare-ills tend to be workplace-related.
