Just Ask…

Daily writing prompt
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

In truth, there really isn’t anything that I hate to be asked! All one has to do is browse through some of my writings, to discover that I tend to be the over-sharer… the T.M.I. giver… the disclaimer girl!

I make every effort to be as transparent as possible, as I seek to reflect a clear level of candid honesty with anyone that might stop by the Lobby. This is my choice… my way of being real!

If I’m to hate anything, it would be one of two things… it is much worse for no one to ask me questions at all, and for those that do ask questions of others, it would be the way in which the question was delivered!

When one doesn’t bother to ask valuable, and often deep questions, before judging, criticizing or condemning the person they should have taken the time to ask… I consider it a lazy character, in the one not asking!

When one does take the time to ask questions, if they ask another a question only after they’ve already made a judgement… it is very apparent to the one being asked!

**EXAMPLE** How are you feeling today? vs Is there a reason you’re being a jerk today?

Social Media has played a very big part, in my humble opinion, to creating the off the cuff, judgy remarks and Karen accusations that so many people get all over their literary faces from each other. No, this is not an attack on any platform in particular, as those are nothing more than tools to be used for either good… or sometimes more nefarious purposes. We humans still retain the ability to choose what we think, say and do! Nobody is going to get a free ride on this cookie filled prompt answer… not even myself!

Here, have some humble pie cookies with me…

  1. Once in a while, you say that you over share. I disagree – you cogitate, question and deliver pretty sane discourse. The Karens and Kens of social media just check their filters at the door and assume that they are being pithy. One hell of a worlds difference between the two.

  2. you are so kind. Me personally I hate it when people ask me dumb questions. Like I just hate those questions because I feel like that person is personally attacking me. They know the answer and they are still asking it. That’s just me personally. Lol. But you are so kind and patient, I love your attitude.
