These strategies will help you painlessly get out of an awkward conversation or avoid conversations with the person you don't like completely.

Answer a question with a question

Use the other person's weapon against them by asking them tricky questions. For example, ask them why they are asking such a question and what difference your answer will make.

Ask for advice

If you want to distract the other person from a certain topic, ask them for advice on another topic that they are knowledgeable about. Listen carefully to their answers and ask additional questions to keep the conversation going.

Express your dissatisfaction

Annoying questions can be generally polite, or they can be downright tactless.

If you have to deal with the latter, be brave and clearly state your boundaries, explaining that such questions are not acceptable.
