Most likely you have had moments where someone asks a prying question and immediately you feel backed into a corner scrambling for an answer. Why is it some of us feel compelled to be in that corner?
The next time you are faced with feeling uncomfortable, put on the spot, or just amazed at the audacity of a question… simply respond with “Why do you ask?” This response immediately squelches the intrusive energy around the conversation and puts the ownership back on the inquirer!
“Just because someone asks you a question, doesn’t mean they deserve an answer.” ~Dar Blanke
