A guarded response is when you withhold providing extended information in case of topics you do not want the conversation to trail to. Such as, if the D.P asks, “Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?” With this, a simple yes or no will do as an answer. There is no need to give any further information unless the D.P specifically asks you to. If the D.P asks, “How intimate were you with your girlfriend/boyfriend?” It is best to respond that you only held hands and sometimes would kiss. Even if you have an extended history, it should be avoided. Or if the D.P asks “When do you smoke?”. You should reply simply by stating that you smoke occasionally when you are out with friends. There is no need to provide any excess information other than that.

Remember, you will always be speaking truthfully, but in certain cases when you know your response might show a sign of severe misconduct, it is advised to withhold information.
