Why must we listen to problems when giving our answers.?

The answer is simple. People are so self-absorbed that they would rather have you feel sympathy for them, rather than be a true friend and try to help a friend in need. So if you're trying to open up to someone on a problem you're having, the one you're asking doesn't care about your problem, but only theirs! They always find a way to turn it around on themselves so it's always about them!

In western culture, we like fast food and quick, patent answers, despite the fact such instant gratification bypasses most opportunity for quality of life. In eastern cultures, the voice of experience is hallowed, almost to the point of being hollow. Somewhere in the middle path, is sanity, balance, and a decent hamburger with a whole wheat bun. Excuse me, I'm suddenly very hungry. This happened to me once before.....Regards, Larry.

we cant exchange the charecters and the behavier of the completed international, so the superb way is to alter ourselves... the main mandatory element is u would desire to realize a good, good 'self image', in psychology it extremely is mandatory content textile for a good character. all and sundry would desire to comprehend the unique potential each and every individual have. Then we would desire to consistently make us pleased with that potential and dream the beutifull way forward for that express potential for the goodness of the society and u. Then u can progressively settle for the disabilities u have... Then that we can say that its a suited 'selfimage' . From this 2nd no ones better complicated, ego problems wont make u discomfortable... as that fools dont comprehend that no person is suited in this international... the inteligence is basically a relative element. each and every superiors at the instant are not so good as others for one ''unique high quality''.

I guess not, you see we do things by experience. When I first started doing this, I actually looked at the answer, but after a while you get frustrated on how to find the answer so you give the most logical thing that comes to mind.

Well, people don't just have answers for everything- they have to come from somewhere. If people pass down their knowlege from one person to the next, you're always going to get some kind of story instead of an actual answer- it's just the way most do it. It's easier than coming up with the "right" one, they'll just tell you what they think it is.

Well most of what we learn as human beings comes from our experiences. So I guess most people answer questions with anecdotes because that's how they learned and they think that shared lessons are far better answers that just generic yes-I-agree or no-way-man responses.

You don't have to "listen" to anyone's problems. Nor do you have to read about them. Just answer the questions you want to answer.

Right now, all of us who read your question, are reading or "listening" to your problem.

So, just ignore the ones you don't like. Then it won't bother you.

(Hey, how do you get the grey hair for you avatar? I didn't see grey as an option)

People want feedback especially from their age group. If they ask a question regarding a specific topic, they might get their peers of whom might be of the same age, offer them responses.

Wow! Re-read your own question! Did you phrase that correctly? Otherwise - it would seem that you are not so interested in others' circumstances as much as your own answers.
