I was at walmart with my older sister, and I she aske me did I need to get anything else while I was in the store, and I told here I needed to buy, some packing tape and then she started asking me, what I need packing tape for, and I told here I was sending away some books,and she wanted to know what kind of books, my sister is very nosy, but if I was to ask about here personal life, she wouldn't want to answer none of my questions, why do people do things like this, ask you about your life, but refuse to answer any questions, you should ask them.

ow..It's okey to me when my sisters ask me anything under the sun.. we are very close, we spent most of our time in exchanging experiences and personal details of our lives..we are like that coz we are family..we know each other so much and we never forget to have a call to each other to say hi and hello... But I don't want to judge you since I dont know you, maybe you grown up in a different country with different family orientation and customs. But, I think you should understand your old sister, she might missed talking to you that's why she asked you a lot of things.

I am not from another country, I live in the United States, my sister like to get in my business, and try to boss me around, and don't want me asking question about her life, I am close to my family but, I am a private person also, so if I don't want to tell someon, something that my business, and I like it if my sister, would stay out of my business.

Some people don't realize they are being like this. I find it's best to just give very basic details, and don't give extra information. That way you don't invite extra questions. Just be very casual about not giving the information.

my sister does know she is being nosy, that is why I didn't finish answering her when she was asking, me these question, I went and paid for my tape, and inored her, and she said nothing more, about what I was going to us,this tape for.

I`d say, don`t play her game, don`t get angry. Just say "books" again. And if she keeps asking I`d reply that if I wanted to tell her, I already would have. That way, she knows that you know that she`s being nosy and should shut her up.

I know a few people like this and it is super annoying to say the least! I would just ignore her, eventually she will get the hint that your not going to answer no matter how many times she asks... I have to do that with someone I know too!

the reason they do this is cause there very nosy people what you should do is not answer her questions that will give her a taste of her own medicine :)

Use the same method of sidestepping her questions she uses in avoiding answering your questions./

I feel the same way you do. What does it matter to her if you wanted to buy packing tape to send the books to the city dump. I dont understand nosy people. But they turn the key real fast if you asked them something personal

I think sometimes some just ask not realizing and want to talk and be known more some need attention some just want to fit in. I have an older sister whom I love very much but when talking with her she is never wrong, gets things mixed up and talks to give herself the credit. now I just do not like her ways but I love her I just disagree in a nice way or over look some things she says. better than any argument. I think sometimes when to many questions are asked it is to not harm just answer or try not to hear or just change the subject. sisters are family . some times we all have different ways but smile and go with the flow. time flys by to fast not to enjoy them.

the aim or motive here is to make her like it and also appeal to her and also make sure it reaches out to her with care ideally

Yeah things like that can be annoying. I think in those cases we have to speak up for ourselves. Perhaps though she wanted to know if she would be interested in getting the books you were sending away. Either way if she doesn't answer your questions she shouldn't expect that you will answer hers.

minding others' business seem to be of human nature. there are plenty of people who are like this. they want to know the details in the others' lives but they don't want the others to know theirs. i wouldn't mind much if it was my brother, son, or husband who would want to know more about my daily activities. i would assume that they do this because they care for me. i get irritated though when they bombard me with questions for unimportant details. makes me feel like i'm under interrogation.

Dear dagami,I can not agree with you any more,people always tend to care about others business and do not want to share themselves,and so was I,so may be from now on I will have two choices,one is do not mind other business too much and the other one is open my mind and my heart to others.

I can be a very sarcastic person and if I knew the person asking was like this I don't think I could help myself from giving a sarcastic answer. It's just how I am. LOL Some people need to know everything and don't know when to butt out.

Some people are just like that. They think they are always right, whatever they do. Even asks numerous questions about this, that,etc. And when you asks they just ignores. Maybe she thinks that she don't have to answer because she is right and always right. And you have to answer because they think that you yet to learn many things

the more talkative a person is the more private she is and problem she has it's like an outlet of them to release what they really feel, better make some trippings not to answer some of her question and remind her that she does also the same thing since she's very talkative in different way
