How to deal with awkward questions?
Have you ever been caught off guard during a job interview, negotiation or meeting with a colleague when a person asked you an uncomfortable question?
First of all, stay polite and don’t let nosy people or real gaslighters make you feel out of place.
There are several strategies to employ
✅just ignore. Pretend you haven’t heard or paid attention to.
✅if your counterparts continue being insistent, you can say “I can’t answer this question as it violates my personal boundaries”
In fact, it’s good to hear such questions as they convey a lot about the person who asks them.
