answer:I only have a cell, so I don’t get many of those types of phone calls. And I put myself on that list where credit card companies and such cannot mail me stuff. So that cuts out those problems. However, I don’t have anything to hide, and privacy is not an issue for me. Aside from people who are attempting to steal my identity, which I have yet to come across, I have no problem telling strangers personal information, to a point of course. I find it more awkward when people I hardly know (or don’t know at all) tell me extremely personal information. For some reason this happens to me a lot. Maybe it’s because I am a counselor; maybe people can sense this. I feel no need to be rude or facetious when others ask me personal questions. If I think the question is too personal, I just say “that is a really personal question”. Usually, this is all it takes to stop the prying.
