Why do I feel like I have nothing to talk about?

The uncomfortable, nonconstructive experience of nothing of say is anything but easy, grounded or focused. It can happen when there’s so much stimulation that we feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the correct point of focus. This experience can feel flat or insecure, frustrating, pressurized and even terrifying.

What does it mean when someone can’t answer a question?

The answer doesn’t flip together in their mind and leap as if unbidden to their tongue. The answer is something they’ve never examined or thought through. They don’t really know what they mean (vis-a-vis the question), so they can’t really say what they mean.

Can a person give you a detailed answer?

Detailed, descriptive, answers can only be elicited with questions which are detailed and descriptive in their own right. Each question that you ask is structured by way of foundational pillars which are then aesthetically added to and connected with vocabulary. Without any one of these pillars, the question would completely lose its meaning.

How to get someone to answer a question?

Don’t make it seem like you’ve, “figured them out,” or, “caught them red handed.” Doing so will decrease your chances of hearing an honest answer more than it would encourage it. Placing blame on yourself seems to be the safest, and seemingly most effective, route in getting someone to answer a question more precisely.

Why do some people not give straight answers?

The willful ignorance toward even one of the pillars that your question is built on, will leave unnecessary room for interpretation in the answers that people give. They’d be able to get away with seemingly answering your questions without delivering definite information for you to find value in.
