How to Handle Uncomfortable Questions You REALLY Don’t Want to Answer in English
Let me ask you something. How do you feel when someone asks you an uncomfortable question?
When you’re chatting with new people at a social event or a party, or you’re interacting with strangers while waiting for the bus or the train, you might get asked an awkward question you really don’t want to answer.
For example:
How old are you?
Why do you wear so much makeup?
Why do you cover your hair?
Why do you always wear long sleeves?
Why are you still single? Is something wrong with you?
Why don’t you have kids yet? Don’t you want them?
What’s your religion?
Does your job pay a lot of money?
Does your wife earn a lot of money?
Do your parents pay for your apartment?
How can you afford to live in this neighborhood?
What is going on with your country? Why are people acting in a certain way there?
Did you vote for a particular government official?
Why’d you leave your country? Does it have to do with [a certain law or a certain government official]?
Do you believe in [a controversial subject that you’re not comfortable discussing]?
When someone asks you a question that’s inappropriate, impolite, or even rude, you might freeze completely.
