It is unpleasant when the interlocutor, having heard an important question, simply remains silent or clearly does not tell you something.
In such a situation, there is a desire to hear a full and honest answer.
But how to achieve the desired result? There is one little trick that is effective in most cases.
You need to "pressure" your interlocutor a little. No, you shouldn't shout, argue, get angry, threaten or demand an answer.
The most effective “weapon” in such a situation will be… silence.
How to get your interlocutor to answer your question
Did the person decide to ignore the question you asked? Or did they give a short and incomplete answer?
Then just shut up and start looking straight into the eyes of your interlocutor.
There will be a pause that the other person will find not just awkward, but oppressive.
Most likely, after a few seconds the interlocutor will want to explain himself. Perhaps he will immediately tell the whole truth. Or, at least, will become less closed.
