If someone asked you a question you thought was too personal or insulting would you say "none of your business" or "why do you ask?" Cuz?

    I probably would just ignore the question.  Nothing requires us to answer questions we don't care for.

    Well if it is on an internet social site that's easy. I do it all the time. IGNORE. But if you are face-to-face in the same place and you were asked a question how do you ignore it? Stone-cold glance? Wouldn't you feel pressed to respond in some way? Thank you for your reply L. I think saying "why would you ask such a question?" puts the burden on them immediately and probably shuts them up. :) This post was edited by RosieG at May 7, 2021 11:07 AM MDT

    I'd have to say my response would depend on the question itself and from whom it came.

    It's not too personal nor insulting but, why do you ask?
