I took out the most important bits of the video: 1) Use the politician's method - talk around the question or the topic discussed before, but don't actually answer it, instead go on a rant. 2) If you're on the telephone or texting, just skip over it. Pretend you didn't hear or see. 3) If you're in person, get up and excuse yourself, leaving the convo. Just say 'It was great to talk to you, I've got to go now' 4) Change the subject subtly. Example: you're in a restaurant, they ask the question, and you just look distracted and say 'hey, is that X over there?' or a woman might say 'look at her shoes, those look so great!' - little random distracting comments. 5) Ask a question back to them. 'What makes you ask me something like that?' or 'Wow, you really do ask personal questions!' 6) Be funny! Answer in a humorous or sarcastic way. 'I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you!', 'That's the million dollar question!'. If they ask you about how much you make, just say 'Not enough to buy my way out of this conversation!' 7) Be honest and say 'I'm not comfortable answering that question' or just 'No, I don't want to reply to that.' They might persist, so you have to be firm, try one of the other techniques above, or just say 'I really have to go.'
ive always struggled with this! ive never wanted to come off as rude or insecure/defensive about the question but a lot of times I just dont wanna answer because its none of their business especially someone im not close to. A lot of people just want to get information to gossip. After answering id feel resentful towards them for making me feel uncomfortable and feeling obligated to answer but then I grew the F up and realized I am under no obligation what so ever to answer peoples questions no matter what that question is. The main ones I hate are how old are you and why are you still single-ughh so my approach is either flat out ignore it and not reply if its social media or dodge a question right back at them or use humour like you suggested.
The art of dodging a question is playing a game, giving answers that don't answer the questions, giving irrelevant replies that don't answer the questions If you give the real answer to the question, it will be used against you to attack you, they will use to critize, judge, condemn, gossip, hurt, bring you down, baited into argument and conflict and debate So protect your privacy and secrets, it is your safety! Use these tactics to save yourself!
I have a few tactics and one good answer is to say 'it all depends who you listen to' or a pet hate of mine when people comment on my home or pending jobs, 'I will say I don't have a deadline' or 'I could tell you what you want to hear or give you the real answer' or a good answer is 'I let nature tell me when the time is right' which is actually a true answer.
My life is an open book. As a truth teller, I know the truth will set me free. However, when someone asks you the same questions that they already know the answers to just to gossip about you or make you feel insecure or cross your boundaries then that is not ok. It’s manipulative and they know it.
Good upload. I usually get the questions: who do you work for? what do you do there? how do I get a job like that? can you get me a job there? I think I'll use: 'that's the million dollar question that everyone's been asking me.' Deep down inside I just feel like saying "FO" right when they're just about to open their mouth.
Be silent for 5 seconds, smile, look them in the eye and calmly say "I'm afraid, that is personal". If they ask again, repeat the same line. Break eye contact. When people are intrusive there's no need to use humour or be polite. But stay cool ⛄❄⛄
Annoying waiter: “Wow I haven’t seen you in so long. Where have you been” Me: “oh just trying to stay out of trouble. How about you? How are things with your job going? (……..) Ok great I’ll have the seafood pasta. Thanks!”
The go to would then be 'I'm not comfortable/interested/prepared in talking about this' or 'let's leave this for another time' or 'I appreciate your interest but this subject is off limits' or 'it's none of your business' or excuse yourself and physically leave.
My father always asks me how much did such and such cost. But I know darn well he’s not in the market to buy whatever I bought. He’s just being nosy. It’s so annoying.
Yes @YourGatcom you have a good point when questions are appropriate. However there are some people who do not respect honest and direct answers such as, "That is none of your business." or "This is not the time/place to have this discussion, let's talk about it later." or "That is personal and I am uncomfortable talking about this subject with you."
I’m about to move I’m sure my nosy neighbor will ask “ Why are you moving ? where are you moving “ im always caught of guard with these types of inquires please help 😢.

* I don't want to talk about it.
* I can't share that with you.
* It's not important
* It's confidential
* It's none of your business
you only use that with women
❤ I get irritated for people asking questions that doesn't concern them at all I'm like why did she ask or why did he ask

You should close that book tbh

Glad it helped you John.

Sania, Damon be like:

Annoying waiter: “Wow I haven’t seen you in so long. Where have you been”
Me: “oh just trying to stay out of trouble. How about you? How are things with your job going? (……..) Ok great I’ll have the seafood pasta. Thanks!”
thanks voor the tips, some people can really ask awkward inappropriate questions. wich desplays like some one farting loudly in an elivator.
Thank you Michelle.
Normally something they don’t know while pretending they do.
Psaki taking notes
Pesky Psaki
😂
that's a big help, toda
nice
i tried changing the subject ...he said dont change the subject
The go to would then be 'I'm not comfortable/interested/prepared in talking about this' or 'let's leave this for another time' or 'I appreciate your interest but this subject is off limits' or 'it's none of your business' or excuse yourself and physically leave.
@@FinelyRevealed that would hurt his feelings
@@bernhardriemann3821 though luck
My father always asks me how much did such and such cost. But I know darn well he’s not in the market to buy whatever I bought. He’s just being nosy. It’s so annoying.
I would say "I forgot, but it was a good investment."
@@FigureFarter good. Thanks!
It's a microphone not a curl folks
Because Fuck being direct and honest when you can avoid and ignore. That always helps

@@FinelyRevealed say it how it is avoiding a question isn't going to keep it from being asked again.
@@FinelyRevealed so don't use logic and just avoid questions. That's how you because a politician
And then you reply to the answer given to you: "SO YOU'RE SAYING.....?
Why do people still do that chair turn thing
"I've been expecting you ...." chair turn
Why do people do that asking dumbass questions thing?

Very nicely done
