Answer 1

Yeah thats fine....when people ask me hard questions I just say "I don't really want to talk about that right now can we talk about something else?" it's not that rude and they should get the hint.  

Answer 2

just say that its really not something that needs to be discussed now or ever.

Answer 4

You need to weigh the outcome of your explanations or answers to see if this is really something you wish to discuss.  If by explanation, more questions will be asked, your best bet is just to keep it to yourself.  Rumors go through a quick life cycle - when it could not gets fed by the source, it dies.

Answer 5

Well you have to consider if the person is really just trying to be there for you. Sometimes a listening ear is all the help you need. On the other hand, your private and personal business is just that, YOUR private and personal business. So your best bet is what you basically said, be polite and say you'd rather not discuss it.

Answer 6

NOW you've got us all wondering what your deep dark secrets are!! Hee hee hee...

Answer 7

Be honest with them. Either tell them what you just said, or tell them it is too painful to talk about and you hope they understand. If there real concern is you then they would not be offended.  

Answer 8

I would say,  if you forgive me for not answering I will forgive you for having asked.  

Answer 9

dear abby answered that years ago.  her answer has worked for me a lot of times.  ask th em "why do you want to know".  most times people will change the subject when you call them out on being nosy. hope this helps  of course you can always just tell them it's none of their f$%#ing business...

Answer 10

That would be a very appropriate response.

Answer 11

I agree with Baby Gyrl, i would say that same too, as long as its FACT u don't want to talk about it.. so its not really rude

Answer 12

just say that you don't feel comfortable with the subject

Answer 13
