Questions and Answers

Have you ever had someone ask you a question and then they get pissed when you gave your answer?

I was faced with this recently and found myself trying to explain my answer when I really wanted to asked the person, "Why did you ask the question, if you didn't want my opinion? You didn't offer any multiply choice answers!!" Just because you receive an answer you don't like, it does not give you the right to verbally attack the person. You asked for and got their answer (opinion)... deal with it. Don't ask them to explain it over and over or blame them for speaking their opinion. You may just find yourself alone and/or without a trusted friend. That is what friends are for... to help us keep balance in our lives. To listen and help us deal with life situations as they come. Granted sometimes friends don't always agree with us but that does not mean they don't still love us or they don't care... they may just see things differently. Either way they are still your friend. Remember, they accepted you the way you were, you in turn should accept them the way they are.

So the moral of this story... don't ask the question if you really don't want to know the answer.
