"I'm alright".
It happens that in life something happens that you do not want to tell anyone. But relatives have a good feeling, and they see when you lie. This leads to the fact that you are literally showered with questions in an attempt to get to the truth.
Anticipate their questions and tell them how wonderful things are going with you. Explain your pallor by having spent a few sleepless nights in the arms of a hot macho or just missed a couple of hikes in the solarium. Even ill-wishers can be withdrawn from the game, in time telling them the right version of the reasons why you look like that. And, oddly enough, no matter how bad you look, it will work.
"We're just friends".
When you part with the former, the relationship sometimes goes on, but you do not want to advertise it. And you happen to be a longtime friend to each other becoming not just a friend, and you're not in a hurry to tell your friends about it.
It is especially difficult to say this to yourself or to someone who wants to be not just a friend.
Collect the will in a fist and tell me honestly how you see your relationship. We just call up, we went to the movies a couple of times, let's meet with Masha next week, let's not rush things, we better leave - all these phrases can help you achieve the desired result.
"I'm not drunk."
From time to time this phrase has to be repeated - friends, mother, husband. Of course, no one believes you, everyone starts looking for other signs of intense intoxication, even if you just sipped a glass of wine. Do not rush into explanations.
The main secret is that you just need to behave as usual. Do not argue, do not prove, do not try to pronounce a tongue twister. Shrug your shoulders and do your usual business. It will work, but only if you are valid not as drunk as it seems to others.
"That's not mine".
Most often they say so about a leaf with verses, accidentally found by someone in your desk. The first reaction is to lie, disown, even if you have a real talent. The reasons for this sudden attack of shame can be many. If this "someone" does not have to suspect about your secret hobby, you'll have to cheat.
Tell me. What a verse rewrote from the Internet, because you can not even rhyme even something like "love - carrots" after in the fifth grade the teacher of literature smashed up your attempts to give out her poetry for poetry.
"I do not want to say anything."
Some of the phrases that we speak sound very ambiguous. You say ordinary things, when suddenly they start to look at you suspiciously. You're puzzled about what happened, and then you hear the question "what are you hinting at?". In such moments, you just unsuccessfully stepped on a sick callus, and you have to correct the situation.
Apologize, say that you did not want to offend and said something unintentionally. If this is not enough, rephrase what you said in more affectionate words. It's okay if you confess that you do not know how to express your thoughts well.
Everyone has to make excuses, but not everyone knows how to do it convincingly. In order not to get into embarrassing situations, you need to learn tactfulness, be honest with yourself at least and try not to offend others.
