Many are afraid to ask questions; they think questions are invasive. Some questions may appear to be invasive, yet all someone is asking is for the other’s truth. How else will we know who we are dealing with if we do not ask questions?
How would I know if I wanted to work with someone in my capacity as a Coach if I could not ask pertinent questions?
To ask questions simplifies the non-conversation. This is not the time to look at someone, see how their demeanor presents itself, both inwardly and outwardly, and then make a decision based solely on these superficial pursuits.
Some are also insulted by questions. It appears and has been stated that we should just accept them as they are. How can we know who they are if they do not answer the simplest of questions?
Why am I here?
What do I want?
Who am I?
How will your life change when you get what you want?
Ask yourself these questions; write them down so when someone starts asking questions, you have the answers. I think the people who don’t like questions are afraid because they have yet to have the answers.
Now you will have them.
A remarkable, thought-provoking and inspirational topic
All the questions we ask ourselves, in one way or another, cause us some feeling that always depends on ourselves. If life had no questions, would it be so fun and hilariously excruciating to live? (another question that causes feelings). To overcome the fear of questions, just live with it, be enraptured by your desire to learn and, no less important, be aware that you cannot know everything.
So maybe you can also understand why it doesn’t make sense to be afraid of answers.
Such wise observations Aldo Delli Paoli and much appreicted. I rarely know why I write wht I wirte, I just trust the powers that be and out it comes! Questions are very important to me – how else will I know you? Onward!
Thank you for this thoughtful essay Joanna! I appreciate you talking about the quest of personal development. It is lovely to respond to something which promotes open-mindedness and del-reflection. I appreciate it.💖
Thank you Darlene Corbett. For me, it is all about personal development. How will we know who we are if we do not search? Much appreciation for your comments and insights.
