Hello, question asker. I am honored to answer your question and I am certain that my sharing will be of help to you.
The questioner's example had a strong sense of imagery. I've encountered this kind of problem too. When I was about to blurt out, "My house is a bungalow," I recovered and said, "First floor." I was probably eager to gain the approval of others during my school days. Now, if someone asks me this kind of question again, I'll depend on my mood and
"Why should I tell you?" or "Take a guess?" or "What about you?" or silence without rushing to give an answer... or showing weakness.
You can be open, interesting, and relaxed, no matter how you respond. The prerequisite is simply being accepting of yourself.
The questioner can also respond with a playful attitude, choose not to answer, ask questions back, or interact with the other person in ways like joking around.
When we accept ourselves, we will no longer be afraid of the other person. We can turn passivity into initiative.
Practice responding to the person in the mirror (the imaginary other person) in different ways in front of a mirror. When you can do this naturally, you have broken through and accepted them.
You must be able to deal with it calmly in real life.
Furthermore, those who use techniques to ask questions may also feel apprehensive and afraid of being rejected.
When we meet our own needs, we can also recognize the rich, endearing side of others. We will no longer be hostile towards others, but will instead be open, flexible, and caring towards ourselves and others.
I know we can create a win-win interpersonal relationship. It's not about answering questions. It's about making the relationship healthy.
That's all I have to say on the matter. Best wishes. The world and I love you.

These "choice questions" can indeed be tricky. Instead of directly answering, you could steer the conversation back to your terms by asking what makes them think you're at that stage.
Redirecting the question back to the asker can be effective. You might ask why they are curious about such details or how it impacts them.
Sometimes, humor can diffuse the situation. You could joke about having a third option that doesn't fit their question at all.
Being straightforward and honest without giving too much detail can also work. Just say you prefer not to discuss specifics on the topic.
You could always change the subject to something related but less intrusive, gently guiding the conversation away from sensitive areas.
