Usually catches people off guard.
To which they would answer: "why not?"
And I’d reply “Because that’s a bit personal, Becky. Now you know.”
And I would respond: My name is not Becky, you don't even know that about me?
Translation: I'm not uncomfortable making people I don't know very well (or they would have told me already) feel uncomfortable about their personal affairs that are none of my business.
You sound like a real peach!
So many assumptions. You seem really difficult and high maintenance.

This is a stupid response. People ask because they're curious.
Why are you curious?
Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people.
So in--
You: "Are you planning on having more kids?"
Response: "What makes you ask?"
Your response wouldn't be to inwardly think, yikes that is none of my business? Just FYI, if you said "Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people" I would respond
- I am having a miscarriage as we speak
- My marriage is in trouble
- I can't and it's so painful
- I am depressed or dying, and don't think it's wise
- My husband can't get it up
Even if none of the above are true.
If you asked,
- Why did you keep your maiden name?
- Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people
I would respond,
"because I think people who do it are dumb"
It seems like often questions have agendas
Maybe you think that saying you're having a miscarriage as we speak would make me uncomfortable, but it wouldn't. I'm not afraid of traditionally uncomfortable discussions.
And you're not afraid of making other people uncomfortable over their own situations, which are none of your business in the first place. Glad you're probably not coming to our neighborhood BBQ this afternoon.
