Dear Queenie,
What do you say to people when they ask you questions about personal things that you don’t want to talk about?
Queenie, any suggestions?—MYOB
Dear MYOB,
It depends on how polite you want to be.
You can always smile and say something like, “Sorry, I would rather not talk about that,” and change the subject. Or, less polite, “Why would you ask me such a personal question?” and, again, change the subject.
But do not be as rude as they are by telling them to mind their own business.
