Women often hear questions that are difficult to answer immediately and frankly. Curious friends and neighbors, not feeling tact and decency, try to get into a secret, intimate, which cause an ambiguous reaction of the defendant: embarrassment, indignation, confusion, chagrin
How to properly respond and answer such questions so as not to offend the person of the interlocutor and, at the same time, not to give food for gossip.
A vague answer. If the question is unpleasant to you, you have the right not to answer it. But you can’t limit yourself to a pause. Be smart. You can answer the question extensively.
For example: - How much does your husband earn?
- He has an average salary, but we have enough.
To the question by question. Another original way to culturally “kick off” a curious interlocutor is to answer a question with a question. It is only advisable to say the question and answer in an indifferent tone, with a slight sarcasm.
For example: - Where do you give birth to a third child?
“Does this really bother you?”
(or do you want to help us with education?)
We include natural artistry. If the question of the interlocutor deeply hurts your feelings, turn your indignation into a comic channel: roll your eyes, raise your brow and in a plaintive tone ask to talk about something else. Or playfully say, "Mmm
.The next question!"
We are maneuvering. If you do not want to initiate an interlocutor in the bins of your soul, start the answer from afar, monotonously and with unnecessary details.
For example: - When are you going to get married?
- If you believe the horoscope, when Venus will pass along my zodiac sign on the fifth lunar day, then
The universal answer. With especially intrusive interlocutors, a little impudence and directness will not hurt.
For example: How masterfully you ask incorrect questions! Teach me?
Do you really want to talk about this? And here I am.
Sorry, but I can not answer you this question, because it is not your business.
