Here are a few phrases people say to avoid talking about something, making me wonder why I even bother to listen: 
  1. "I'll tell you later."  Really?  Or will you just depend on my keen ability to forget things?  Probably the latter.
  2. "I can't talk about that.  It's classified/proprietary/sensitive."  Solution:  Generalize.  For example, if I ask about the ingredients in my favorite candy and your company is more secretive than the military, tell me what I want to hear:  Just some chocolate, sugar, nougat, things of that nature.  I don't care about the specifics.
  3. "We don't have time to discuss that right now."  This comes up in school and church when the speaker feels the need to announce the fact that they have more information on the subject but couldn't possibly cover it all in the allotted time.  In other words, this person is full of themselves.
I like people. #psychology
