How to Handle Nosy Questions
Tired of those nosy, judgmental questions you get from relatives or others? Many of these are from well-meaning people, but that doesn't mean you want to answer them! They are often "life-stage" questions: where others think we "should be." Wondering how you can gracefully respond?

"I don't really feel a need to explain myself about that. What else do you wanna talk about?" -that's the line I just wrote for myself. I look forward to trying it out.
Brilliant! As I am a very direct person I asked back something like mind your own business, which I know is not diplomatic at all. I’ll try to remember some of your suggestions next time is needed. Thank you.
My sister tends to ask covert questions indirectly as if I won't know. I don't hear from her until she wants to know something and then she calls pretending to be concerned about not hearing from me for months or "checking in" to learn if I in fact had the surgery that I told her about weeks prior only to have her call three weeks later post op to see if I need anything.
Invaluable

Hi Karen: Info on how to work with me is on my website: www.awakenjoy.life. All the best! (I do not do in person work anymore...)
That doesn’t really work, they will further go in explaining and lecturing, end up you have to say something really direct and rude for them to stop
Omg boundary personality type..
