What are the best ways to avoid a question without being rude or edgy?

[Ayanle Farah]

I have a problem, I like to be transparent, that's how I live but there are somethings I want to keep to myself depending on who I'm talking to and if I'm asked a specific question I tend to give information too easily.

My solution is usually to try avoiding the person asking the nosy questions because I know I'll give away too much and the only way I know is to basically tell them it's none of their business.

However, I don't want to be edgy, certain times I need to keep somethings private without offending the other person.

This happened at an event a few hours ago which is why I made this thread because I finally recognized it's a problem I have to fix.

Although I really don't like them, when I got home I started looking at videos on politicians answering questions and I have to admire their ability to move around a question and keep things ambiguous.

I need that in my personal life.

How do you go about keeping nosy people at bay?
