How do you avoid answering personal questions?

How do you respond when someone asks you a personal question?

If you are like the majority, you will hesitate and think "Why are you asking me this question?"

Then you might try hard to find the appropriate response?

Whether the question is coming from a friend, family member, or someone you barely know, curious questions do not have to answer the way the asker would like.

To help you manage these situations, here are some of the best ways to evade personal questions without starting a war.  

The best approach to dealing with these situations is to think like a lawyer.

Lawyers know the most common reasons behind aggressive interrogation.

They also know the potential consequences of personal information ending up in the wrong hands, according to the Live Bold and Bloom website.

 Here are some maneuvers to avoid a question that may seem rude or simply not be answered:

Avoid the question:

An obligation ceases to indicate that the question is irrelevant or of a highly personal nature.

Example :  

Questioner: How much do you spend on this fine coffee per month?

You: I don't see how relevant this is.

Or it's my money, it's my own business.

Ignore the question:

Speaking as if you hadn't heard the question.

And here you are sending a message that it is irrelevant or unworthy of an answer.

Example:

Questioner: How old are you, anyway?

You: Just like I was saying ...

Put the liquid on the line of defense:

If he does not calm down, answer your own questions.

It doesn't distract them, but it does send a message that you won't be put in an embarrassing situation.

Example:

Questioner: You did not answer my question?

You: How were you to fare it?

Or, what if I ask you a rude question?

Ask permission:

This is a great time to go to the toilet, grab a refreshment or go to say hello to a friend you just saw.

Use whatever you like.

Example:

Questioner: Then will you finally rise ... You know?

You: You know?

I have to go to the toilet.

Reaffirm or rephrase the question:

Reaffirm the original question in a roundabout way to manage the conversation in a less personal direction.

Example:

Questioner: I have heard that you believe in reincarnation?

How will you get back?

You: I think it really is better if you ask me if I think a short life is all we need to learn everything we need to learn.

Procrastination:

Ask him to clarify the question to buy more time and so that you can decide how much information you want to share.

Example:

Questioner: How much do you pay rent for this place?

You: Sorry!

Did not understand the question, or compared to what?
