Example: Imagine you're at a family gathering. You're having a pleasant conversation with a relative you haven't seen in a while. Suddenly, they ask you a very personal question about your finances. You're surprised because you weren't expecting such a private question, especially in front of other people. Later, you tell a friend: “I was honestly taken aback by how personal the question was.” Rss Apple Podcaster →
