Asking Personal Matter/s: Rude?!?

Yesterday, a friend not too close to me asked personal questions. I felt uncomfortable saying things about his inquiries. I tried not to be rude despite feeling that way. I managed to answer him while playing safe, not giving further details. If we were really best friends, I might consider it. Despite answering him, he still does not believe what is being said. I brushed it off and did not intend to explain myself to convince him. Besides, the questions were too personal. Have you experienced this kind of scenario? How do you handle it?

It sounds like you handled an unfortunate situation very well. I don’t know what prompted that person to get overly personal with you, but kudos for taking the high road.

If he continues tell him you are not comfortable talking about it

Like you, unless I know the person well or am willing to give them personal information, I would have told him to mind his own business. There are people I'd like to be better friends with and if one of them asked personal questions, I'd tell them what I was comfortable telling them but I'd expect it to be a two way street, allowing me to ask them personal questions, too.
