Usually whenever someone asks me a question, I always have to respond with the following question:
- What are you really asking?
People aren’t typically upfront about what they want, and getting through their bullshit is really annoying. Another follow-up question I sometimes after that, and tone can vary a lot with this one, is:
- What are you so afraid of?
That tends to either put a stop to people’s queries or get them talking about what the real problem is.
