Relatives asked about personal matters.
1. Answer "wider than the ocean" (Vague but Polite)
Give me an answer that seems to answer, but really doesn't tell me anything. Emphasize consistency and flatness.
• Question: "When to get married / have a girlfriend?"
• Answer: "If there is good news, of course. Now let's focus on the work."
• Why it works: Because there is no loophole to ask and it is the most polite cut.
2. The Deflector technique
Most people like to tell their own stories. If they ask us, let us throw the question back to them.
• Question: "How much is the salary?"
• Answer: "It's enough to save your life...But seeing my aunt on a trip, how are you? "
• Why it works: Turning the Spotlight on him will make him forget about us for a moment.
3. Smile, fight...And excused yourself (The "Bathroom" Escape)
If you encounter too strong a question or become uncomfortable and do not want to talk, there is no need to clash.
• How to use it: Smile, get still and say, "Oh...It's a long story. I'll go to the bathroom and help me pick up some water. "
• Why it works: It's the most natural rhythm, and most of the time, when he comes back, he changes the conversation.
4. Use comedy to fight (Humor is Key)
Comedy reduces tension brilliantly and makes the person asking feel that we are not serious (until he is considerate).
• Question: "Why are you getting fatter?"
• Answer: "The food at home is really too delicious to resist lately. Yes, I must blame the chef!"
• Why it works: It lightens the situation and shows that his words can't do anything to us.
5. Set clear boundaries (Setting Boundaries)
If you are a close relative of a certain degree but you can't really compromise, politely speaking is the best solution.
• How to say: "This story is my permission to keep it private. If you are ready to tell it, you will tell it quickly."
• Why it works: To let him know where our boundaries are, and next time he'll be more careful.
