We’ve all had some version of ‘the big three’ conversational bombs dropped casually our way at one time or another, and, depending on where we are in our lives, the storm of emotion that can follow can unexpectedly floor us.
We spoke to therapist Judith Apps about why we sometimes have a difficult time brushing off intrusive questions, and pinned down some useful responses for the next time someone gets that bit too personal.
Strangers don’t know what is off-limits
Part of the reason why one of the big three can hit us hard is that with friends and family there is often an unspoken understanding of issues we are deflecting and may not want to talk about. But with our less intimate circle – work colleagues, friends of friends or more distant relatives for example – a question on one of these subjects can feel like an unwanted intrusion and a punch in the gut.
