Subtlety tactics may not work with the overly persistent nor the closed minded who without your stronger stance to their prying questions they will continue to throw caution to the wind which may result with an open dialogue that they may or may not be prepared for. Our choice of topic of conversation with our peers is a guide that we use to measure what topics¹ are safe to talk about and what we feel is beyond conversation because of its sensitive matter this is all based on the bonds that we share with one another and is steered by own willingness to open up so that we are able to find common ground with one another. If we tread on areas of conversation that we ourselves find uncomfortable to open up about but we are more than happy to delve into the personal affairs of others maybe we should ask ourselves when things haven't gone to plan with our own life why is the circle of friends that we feel comfortable to confide with only consist of a small amount of close friends rather than everyone else that we spend time with?. Why does our storytelling change based on our audience? Is it because only some people are privy to the real us while others will only ever get the perfected version on display?
