Have you ever wanted to ask a question that you know what the answer is but you want to ask the question anyway hoping to get the answer you know you're not going to get?

There are questions that I know the answer to that are harmless. Then there are questions that are really delicate, and I suspect I know the answer. I will often consult my therapist about how to word questions. He’s very good at walking me through the process of figuring it out.

The rule of life is: Don’t ask the question if you’re not willing to accept either answer. I rarely follow the rule though!

Yes. Usually from my belief of being trapped in a time loop. The best answer years ago was: “I believe that you believe”, but I would like to have more than just that.

Yes. Especially when I was crushing on someone.

Mostly when I was a kid and I made requests that I knew my parents were going to say a big fat no to. But occasionally they would surprise me by saying yes.

Sometimes in life, you have to ask things that you know are going to be rejected or at least believe are going to be rejected. If you don’t ask, then you have no one to blame but yourself. For instance. A salary increase. You really don’t know if your boss is going to say no, but if you don’t ask, then you already decided the answer.

Now if you are asking about asking a question in Fluther. Then no, because there is no way of knowing how multiple people are going to respond, and if I ask a question here it’s because I’m not even 100 percent sure what the answers will be and how they may influence what I believed the answer might be.

If I’m 100 percent sure of the answer then it’s a waste of time to ask. It’s like watching the rain and asking someone next to me if its raining. I’ve got eyes.

I do this all the time. It is one of life’s little pleasures.

No.

It’s like if I ask the question I’m gonna get the typical: “It’s the internet, What did you expect?!” kind of answer :( ...
...or “You never really know who’s behind the keyboard on the internet!” answer. And when you get attracted to someone you don’t want to hear that even if it’s true. It just sux! dammit!

No, I’m not a troll.
