💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Some tips from an INTJ-A (and INTJs are accordingly the most secretive and most mysterious of the 16 MBTI personality types) on how to remain secretive when someone nosy tries to ask you about some private information which you are not willing to disclose - you can respond by saying:
1. "Allahu A'lam." "Allah the Almighty knows best."
2. "Why do you feel the need to know? We're not even close."
3. "If I tell you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore, now would it?"
4. "It is none of your business. Why are you so nosy?"
5. "It has absolutely nothing to do with you. So you shouldn't be curious."
6. "Even if you tried to bribe me with a billion cash to reveal it, I refuse to disclose it. It's none of your business."
7. "Why do you think I'd tell you about it that eagerly while we're not friends in the first place?"
8. "Why are you so desperate to know about it? Are you authoring my biography without my knowledge? Or do you wish to use this info for gossip? Ever heard of respecting personal space?"
9. "I can answer that question but I don't want to. Change topic please. Otherwise, I have something else that's more important to do, and it has nothing to do with you."
10. "Maybe you can ask yourself that question? Because I don't have the proper response for it."
11. Swiftly or abruptly excuse yourself from any conversation which makes you uneasy and let them know you're not interested in talking to them that casually until they agree to stop being nosy.
