Master, where have you gone? The man decided to play a joke on the dog and hid behind a tree. How to answer tactless questions? Where are you lost why don't you answer

29.03.2022

The monkey sits on the bank of the river, looks at the water. A crocodile swims by and thinks: “Now I’ll ask if she got married or not? If she says she came out, I’ll say: but who took you so terrible? If she says she didn’t come out, I’ll say: of course, who would take such a terrible one?

Sailing to the shore:
- Hey monkey! Well, are you married?
- Yeah, you'll get married here, when only such crocodiles swim in the river!

Who among us has not been at a loss from time to time in front of unceremonious questions? Who does not know the feeling of powerlessness before the poisonous language of familiar wits? Who hasn't experienced a sense of embarrassment when they are hurt by a word? Indeed, in life there are people who try to assert themselves with this weapon, often humiliating another. It often happens that our friends and relatives voluntarily or involuntarily injure our soul with a sharp word. It happens that people behave unceremoniously in communication, without noticing what they are doing.

It is well known that a word can hurt, hit, they say, even kill. The word is the strongest weapon! And if this weapon is also sharpened, then it is even more dangerous. Humor has the magical property of psychologically destroying everything it is aimed at. Ridicule devalues any object, makes it insignificant, insignificant, ridiculous, this is the essence of this virtual weapon. Humor directed at a person psychologically hurts his self-esteem, devalues his personality in the eyes of other people, mentally hurts and scratches.

And we do not always have the words to defend our dignity in such situations. Even Heinrich Heine said: “Since it has gone out of fashion to wear a sword, it is absolutely necessary to have a sharp tongue!”

How does a person usually behave when in a similar situation? One of the typical reactions is irritation or even aggression. But such a reaction, of course, is a sign of weakness and powerlessness, an irritated person loses his reputation in the eyes of others. Another typical reaction is numbness, embarrassment, a person is confused, does not find what to answer or answers stupidly and banally. Of course, in the eyes of the environment, he also looks weak, if not pathetic. Another possible reaction to tactlessness or wit in your address is withdrawal from communication, avoidance. What do people think of a man who left the battlefield? To explain, of course, is superfluous: it is associated with cowardice. In any case, having climbed into the pockets for a word and not finding any successful answer there, a person usually feels uncomfortable and somewhat humiliated.

It is very important in such situations to find a witty, at least creative, in other words, a creative, original, unconventional answer. It is this response that presents you to the environment as a person with intelligence and a sharp mind. It is desirable that wit be proportionate, i.e., not hurt more than what the opponent deserved, but also sober him to a sufficient extent.

As an example, the witty response of Winston Churchill in the State Parliament of England has remained in history. One lady opponent, in the heat of the political controversy, became personal and allowed herself the following attack: “If you were my husband, I would pour poison into your glass!” To this Churchill instantly replied: "If I were your husband, I would immediately drink it!"

The great football player Maradona gave a good answer at a press conference:

- How would you comment on Pele's statement that he does not consider you a good coach?
- Time will tell, but let Pele go back to the museum!

Another example of a good answer. The famous singer Anna Herman did not like it when they hinted at her tall stature. Once, the “starred” entertainer at the concert allowed himself the following faux pas: “Tell me, how many meters are you?” The answer put him in his place: "It does not matter how many meters, it is important that I am certainly taller than you ...".

Consider a number of typical tactless or touching questions and look for successful answers to them. Many of the answers we found in training on creativity and wit in speech, according to the principle - one head is good, but brainstorming is better. And now we have a happy opportunity to use the received options in life. And if you grasp the basic principles of finding answers, then you yourself will be able to find brilliant answers to any questions.

It would seem that a good and quite innocent question is “Hi! How are you?" But, on the other hand, such a pattern shows that a person does not even want to strain his brain and make efforts to find a more interesting way to start a conversation. Most often, this is an indicator of the narrowness of thinking or the insignificance of other people for this person. You can get off - “Normal”, but you can remember or create a witty option:

- Have not given birth yet…
“Things are in the Kremlin, and we have affairs ...
- They go with your prayers ...

You can use the counter question method:

— What business do you mean?
– What exactly interests you?
Are you just asking, or are you really interested?

One of the best ways to get away from an uncomfortable or thorny question is the counter-question method. It forces you to think and look for the answer of the opponent himself. Home preparations in the form of counter questions are as follows:

- But why are you asking?
- And for what purpose are you interested?
- Why do you want to know?
How will you use this information?

I have always been touched by people who answered the question from the tube “Tell me, where did I get to?” honestly answered: "This is the Ivanovs' apartment." Can you imagine what will happen next? Usually such an honest answer provokes the following series of offhand questions:

- What's your number?
- How long have you been living here?
- And where did the Petrovs go?

The best option for the question "Tell me, where did I go?" will be just the method of a counter question: “Where are you calling?”

It turns out that not always an honest answer is the best. This is what the Cheshire Cat tried to teach us using the example of Alice:

- Tell me, dear Cat, where should I go?
“And it depends, girl, where you want to go…”
“But I don’t care where I go!”
“Well then, it doesn’t matter where you go…”

Of course, the form and degree of rigidity of the answer depend on the specific situation: on the degree of impudence of the question, on your relationship with your opponent, on the degree of your patience with your opponent - is he also a person? But all this is at the level of common sense, which, I hope, the reader is not deprived of ...

Consider one of the most tactless questions for women: "How old are you?" You can answer corny - they say, "all mine", but you can find more witty chops:

- As many as winters ...
- The main thing is not how much, but what ...
- Carlson's method: "I am a woman in the prime of life ..."
- By the method of a counter question: "And how much would you give?"

Another “good” question: “Oh, are you getting better?” Humorous answers:

- No, I just after dinner ...
No, it's just that you've lost weight...
I didn't get better, I got better...
- You can answer with a counter question: “What, you don’t like it?”

Another "women's question": "Girl, are you married?" Options:

- I'm not "for", I'm "with" my husband ...
- Not the right word, I have a whole harem of husbands!
- A counter question: “Do you doubt?”, “Did you think that no one would take me?”, “Do you want to make me an offer?”.

Well, the record-breaking question among stupid templates: “What are you doing tonight?” Options:

- Rob a bank...
- Fighting off annoying fans ...
I'm celebrating my husband's birthday...
Same as yesterday...

However, if you are free and there is a feeling that a person is not completely lost to society, you can forgive the platitudes and help:

- What can you offer?
- It depends what you want...

One of the brightest participants of the training tested those who tried to get acquainted with her with her favorite homemade preparation: “I am considering offers of interesting men…”. If he did not get lost and quickly reacted with an interesting answer, he grew strongly in her eyes.

A universal question for men and women, usually after a vacation: “Well, did you hook (a) someone?” How can you answer? For example, the response of a monkey from a joke:

- Hook here when only crocodiles swim ...

- Yes, the fishing spots have already been snapped up ...
- Yes, I didn’t cling, I caught it with a net ...
"What, you didn't believe in me?"
- I would tell you, but I'm afraid you will envy ...
- Yes, where should I go, everyone was just waiting for you!

Another question that can put both a man and a woman to a standstill. Usually follows from the second half: "Have you had anyone before me?" It is foolish to deny - still do not believe. It is better to find a beautiful care:

- If there was, then it is incomparable with you ...
“Before you, I didn’t live at all ...
- Before you, I only had a mother ...
“What difference does it make, because I love only you ...
- Yes, before you there were dreams about you ...

Now let's think about how best to answer the following question of strangers on the street or on the phone: “Hello! Do you have a minute?" What is the indiscretion? The fact that the person has obviously already decided that you already have a minute - and not one - for him, and expects that it will be embarrassing for you to refuse the conversation he needs, but not the fact that you need it.

Answer options - do you have a minute:

- It depends on what you want...
- And why are you sure of this?
“Sorry, I’m not wasting my time…
“What do you want to ask…?”
Yes, but it's too expensive...
“Do you have three hundred dollars with you…?”

From no less tactless acquaintances, you can hear the following: “Why do you still have no children (wife, car, apartment, money, director’s position, academic degree)?” Options:

- Did not deserve his behavior ...
Karma doesn't allow...
“It interferes too much with my genius…”
“It distracts from saving the world…”

Well, let's remember the counter questions:

- Why do you want to know?
- Why are you interested in this?
- Can you offer it to me?

Another example of an attempt at wit: “And how do you get so much change? Are you collecting alms?" Let's try to find interesting beats:

Yes, I just got back from church...
I just collect scrap metal...
This is my salary for the year...
- I took the subway ticket office ...
I see you are jealous...
Do you want to go together tomorrow?
“What, have I competed with you?”

For all methods of response, the main thing is to show freedom from stereotypes, a creative approach and develop a speed of mental reaction. In conclusion, I want to wish you that in all life situations you can quickly find the most successful answers to any difficult questions!

I apologize for being gone for so long.

Briefly our news:

1. Katerina goes to the garden without problems, with desire. The CEO hones the skill of building everyone around))))

2. Arina is in the 5th grade, I don’t know how at all))) everything is by herself, the grades are good, the class does not call, I think everything is fine))

3. Dasha went on maternity leave, she walks B well, according to the latest ultrasound everything is normal)) We are waiting for her granddaughter in April))

4. I have a fun job: in the morning a psychologist in a kindergarten, in the afternoon - in my office, in the evening - on the B17 website ...

If we don’t leave, then in the future, work as a psychologist in a new garden on the street. Preminin, they are now undergoing licensing. Perhaps I will be engaged in early development groups))

The results are encouraging: the boy said "You don't love me, you don't need me" many times a day. After 2 consultations, my mother called and said that they had never heard these phrases in a week - COOL! I asked: Is it difficult? Answer: It's hard to control yourself!

the girl threw tantrums several times a day. After 1 consultation. Mom: there were no tantrums for the week, everyone is trying, both my husband and my grandmother. - COOL!

All for the sake of children being happy, not comfortable!!!

5. We are very seriously considering the option of moving to the Verkhovazhsky district. So, tomorrow we are going there to look at the houses)))) Andrey has already thought up a job for himself there, they are already waiting for him there. I see all my projects too. It remains to buy a house and have chickens, goats, guinea fowls, pigs ... Project - Village tourism. If everything works out as planned, I will write the address for all my girlfriends here. We will be glad to all guests, with great pleasure we will give the opportunity to feel our roots to everyone!!!

And here are our latest photos:

Katya in the Yolki-Palki restaurant, they all went together, with her son Misha)) drinks tea, wipes her mouth with a napkin

Then they rolled Katya on a pony Feechka

Here's the first thing that came to my mind, I can answer, for example: - Where did you go / lost? .. And next time I'll leave your phone ... The deposit / ransom was paid ... so I appeared again .... /The deposit was given for you?.. — And next time I'll leave your phone number... I answer: I haven't disappeared anywhere, it's still there, and you don't even call me for some reason.

Where have you been

S S Oracle (69908) Gee:) They answer twice in rhyme! Answer from VladlenAnswer: “Dad, I'm already an adult girl! Answer from Me do not touchI would answer .... Answer from Panas Enurezovich Tukhlyatsky»Where have you been? "…."Where did you go?

I said answer yes or no! A simple question can always be answered "yes" or "no", in my opinion, this is not difficult. In a number of cases, people seem to substitute this question for "How glad I am to hear from you!" or “I missed you” because they don’t know how to adequately express their feelings. Then I have a counter question: what, religion does not allow you to pick up the phone and call? That is why people, in response to the question “Where have you gone?”, begin to make excuses, mumble about work, about employment, about the flu: they feel that they are not being asked, but blamed.

Sometimes it happens that a person suddenly disappears somewhere, he does not call, does not write, does not show any signs that everything is in order with him, and things are going well. The girl frantically and greedily seeks a meeting with her dear person, hoping for the best.

Where have you been

Just been here, walking together and suddenly ... gone! Can not be! What a grief. And the treacherous man just hid behind a tree to see the reaction of the dog.

Potter27 › Blog › Where did you go? Why do not you answer? Post without pictures

Reviews. If you now enter “potter27 reviews” into Yandex, then you, in fact, will not find them. Do you know why? I don't ask them to do it. My positive reviews are negative reviews, are there any? I think I will make the loudest statement in the world if I propose to write such, only with proofs, please!

I haven't posted anything for a long time, the thing is that there really isn't enough time for everything. Either work, but then there is no time left for posts, or post, but then there will be no time for work, and, accordingly, there will be no material for posts either. Yes, and the posts themselves with inspections of various cars on the Drive are becoming more and more every day, so interest in such reviews is falling. To be honest, it’s not so interesting to post some kind of inspections / reviews myself, because everyone already knows how to look at the release date of tires, the bolts of attachments, and even more so, everyone bought thickness gauges :)

Where did you go how to answer

And my friend was offended by a friend. Because firstly, you can start communication without the word "well", you didn't harness it)). and secondly, the word "disappeared" is also not very beautiful. The phrase is disgusting. You can just ask "how are you?". Or say, in the end, something like "Haven't seen you in a long time, how are you?"

With this phrase, some begin communication. But don't tell the person that they didn't really want to meet with you, Nukalka. And somehow you need to answer this in a way that is not in style: Oh, I didn’t disappear at all, but I was there and there, so-so-so-so. How do you respond to such approaches if you can’t completely ignore a person?

where did you go what to answer

Girls, I’ve been here for 2 weeks, or even more back on the BL website, I read all sorts of different things, looked at their assortment at the same time and decided to ask them a question about zucchini - they say, why the hell can’t you find their pure zucchini anywhere, although this is one of the most popular vegetables from the first feeding, but Heinz is everywhere in bulk? And so my question was condescended to and I received an answer from the PR manager of the marketing department,

For a long time I was tormented by the question, And I wanted to know the answer - Who is better if asked, In sex? Grandma or not? The men shouted in unison: We, of course, the women - no, That is, they, of course, worse, This is the right answer ... The women spoke modestly And, blushing with shame, We would love you forever, But you need sometimes. Public Center Levada, Gave a detailed answer, 50 percent - women, 50 percent - no! ____________________ In a dispute, the truth disappeared - Who is better, who is not, But the old woman knew the answer, Here it is correct.

L.J. Magazine

Sometimes people seem to be trying in this way to say that they care about us, that they have noticed our absence. Then I have a counter question: what, religion does not allow you to pick up the phone and call? Well, if you are really interested in: where are we, how are we, are we healthy, what are we doing, why the hell not show minimal initiative in the relationship?

In a number of cases, people seem to substitute this question for "How glad I am to hear from you!" or “I missed you” because they don’t know how to adequately express their feelings. So, I don’t like this “substitution of concepts” (c.) at all. We say "cat", but we mean "ass" and vice versa: is it any wonder that we do not understand each other.

One man's story

Are you in a hurry? You represent. (and proceed to a detailed description of all the cases that were going to be done today, and which ones were postponed until tomorrow, about what problems you encountered in solving the problems of the global financial crisis when trying to withdraw a deposit in a bank.)))

Each breath reflects the incessantly attacking death, with which we are fighting every second in this way ... In the end, death must win, because we are its property already from our very birth and it only temporarily plays with its prey until it swallows it. Until then, with great zeal and diligent care, we continue our lives as far as possible, just as they blow a soap bubble as long as possible and as much as possible, although they know for sure that it will burst. Here is such a life. What were you even asking about? (from the book Shopegaur as a Medicine)

Interesting answers to questions How are you? and what do you do

We say something in response, not thinking about the meaning of what was said. In fact, there is a really correct answer to all these questions, which depends on the real situation and on the interlocutor. Consider a variety of options for answering the question "How are you?"

The answer to the most popular question is dictated primarily by those who ask it. When communicating with peers, caustic, sometimes vulgar phrases such as “I haven’t given birth yet”, “the case with the prosecutor”, will be unacceptable to the older generation, bosses, parents. In these cases, the answer should be short and concise.

I didn't disappear :)

Indeed, I have not written articles since January. This is due to the fact that in my life there was a new portion of events related to the Source. The task that Istok has set for me this year is very ambitious, and it takes all my free time and energy. There is simply no strength to write articles. I even took a break from work to some extent in order to be able to fully concentrate on all this.

Now I will not describe the essence of what happened and what is happening, because. as the task is completed by me, I will write several articles in which I will share with you everything that is currently happening in my life and in my practices. It makes no sense to write about it now, also because it is impossible to write about something that has not yet been completed. Every day of practice I get new information and new experience, and until all this results in a finished result, there is no way to talk about it somehow unambiguously. Frankly, I myself do not know what will happen to me tomorrow - how what I did today will affect tomorrow, what meditations I will have after that, and what will change in the world around me. In other words, everything has its time. Now I can only say that the news from me will appear around August (not sure, but most likely).

How to reply, what to reply to - message, comment

This means that a person wants to ask you a question, but not some nonsense, but a more serious one. Maybe related to your personal life. Or maybe this person wants to find out how you feel about him. Anyway, you can answer: Yes, sure!- this will show that trust has already appeared between you, and you are not averse to seeing the question.

Nobody wants to be boring, and you also want to answer comments and questions in an original way, with enthusiasm, somehow beautiful or cool, funny. The best way is to relax and just be yourself, catch the wave. To do this, you can chat and laugh with friends, watch some funny video, in general, cheer yourself up. But if you are in thought, here you will find tips and ready-made recipes that can be answered in a given situation. What is the best way to respond to a comment? What to say?

Where did what fell

Let's consider a couple of examples. Let's say, let's take for example the most ordinary coin, it can fall out of a wallet, out of a pocket, out of hands, and disappear, no one will even begin to think about where it disappeared, or what will happen to it next. Money is coming and going, today you have it, tomorrow you don’t have it, and this process is irreversible, it’s just as common as the fact that we breathe air, drink water, etc., etc.

"Where did the thing that fell go to?" You can give a lot of answers to this question, but the main thing is that they should not be said as an empty phrase, but on the case, therefore, before answering, you need to decide what exactly fell, and only then answer the above question.
