Every person has encountered a situation in which he was asked questions that he clearly did not want to answer, but did not know what to do.
There is really no need to worry, although such a situation can throw an individual off track.
But how to put the interlocutor in his place? Perhaps the following tips will help the individual in this.
A sense of humor will help
If a person knows how to cheer everyone up, he can simply turn the conversation into a joke and pretend that the situation he found himself in amused him greatly. In this way, the individual will not anger the opponent and will be able to avoid an awkward question.
Incomplete answer
If a person fails to stop the interrogation, and the interlocutor still insists on being given the information he is interested in, one can answer a particular question abstractly.
If a person is asked when he plans to start a family, he might say, “We’ll see” or “Let’s not rush.”
Instead of a clear answer "Yes", you can always give a vague "Maybe" or "I don't know". And for many, this will be enough. The person will also keep all the information to themselves, and the interlocutor will have no choice but to give up.
Tell the person directly that you don't want to talk
Some interlocutors are too persistent, and there is simply no escape from them.
In this case, first of all, a person should think about himself and his own comfort in the conversation, which means he should point out to the interlocutor that he is touching on a topic that does not concern him. Perhaps the opponent himself did not know that he asked an unpleasant question for the person. And if he has at least a little sense of tact, he will back off.
Stay friendly
In no case should you take any questions with hostility, because, as was said earlier, a person does not always ask something with malicious intent.
Maybe he really shows a genuine interest in his interlocutor. It is important to always stay positive and keep a smile on your face.
