It happens that others during a conversation touch upon a sore subject or even ask stupid questions. It is important in a stressful situation to maintain composure and find how to respond beautifully to the tactlessness of the interlocutor.
Instructions
Step 1
Maybe you should feel sorry for the interlocutor who asked a tactless question. It is likely that he simply does not realize his own stupidity, or his interests are limited to a small list of topics, some of which just annoy you. Try to change the subject and just get away from the answer.
Step 2
Ask a similar question in response. Perhaps your counterpart is impatient to boast of his successes in this area, and he had no idea of offending you. So silly questions can be the start of a long monologue about the accomplishments of your interlocutor.
Step 3
If your friend had a goal of offending you with a tactless question, you all the more need to remain calm and decide how to beautifully respond to his attack. Start to get nervous - and the provocateur's goal will be achieved. Sometimes a casual grin, a penetrating gaze and clarification of a question with direct eye contact can drastically reduce the level of curiosity in the interlocutor.
Step 4
Take it for granted that some people may simply not be educated enough, which is why they ask stupid questions. Answer a person like a child by thoroughly explaining simple truths. Maybe he will finally become uncomfortable.
Step 5
Sometimes the answer "no comment" is not rude, but a necessary measure. Use this phrase when annoying people ask a tactless question. The main condition in such a situation, how to respond beautifully to stupidity, is to maintain a polite voice and a calm facial expression.
