Why do people get so pissy when you answer their questions honestly?

I have noticed that when you answer a question honestly, not being nasty, or smart, just honestly from your own life experiences. That people get so angry with you. I mean if you don't want to hear peoples oppinions don't ask the questions, right?!

Is that not what this site is all about?

    Well you are right. I have noticed that too. But that is OK. It is their problem and if you are honestly honest with them in your answer, then you have done your best. If they get nasty ... just shrug it off. You did your best to answer it and go on to the next question.

    It is not like they will see you or talk to you again. Yes this site is set up for this to answer questions.

    People some times just can't take honest answers to their questions and some people are just antagonistic with people in general. They just love to hear themselves talk. They are not after the truth just have time on their hands.

    The ones that appreciate your answers are the one that read, think and accept your point of view. Thanks for asking.

    Well, sweetie, I am very direct and most people don't want to hear what I have to say. I call them as I see them! I have a degree in nursing and one in social work so I do have some knowledge. I just say what I have to say and have my e-mail blocked then I don't get responses back. I don't really care one way or the other........I answer questions when I have nothing better to do. Don't worry if people get angry.......it is their problem, to deal with their anger and not yours.

    A few people are actually looking for answers. Others have a predefined answer and are only interested in what agrees with their own thinking.

    I'm happy that people ask questions at all; I get points for answering them, and I haven't thought up very many questions myself yet.

    Because the world wants people to sugar coat things, and tell people what they wanna hear.

    But, they sorta might be "yelling" at you because they feel attacked and can't see your facial expression and hear your tone of voice. As a result they think that you are being mean to them.

    I tottaly get what you mean though..

    Because they just want to hear people who believe exactly the way they do saying "amen sister."

    That's what church is for, not Y!A.
