Spiritually speaking .... Why do some people ask the same question over and over and over again?

We all have seen them. What do you think is the reason for it? For affirmation? Truly seeking? Attention? Or what ....?

Update:

What do you consider evidence? Physical? Repeatable? Historical?

    a combination of reasons

    1 - they want an answer to be the same as their own opinion (affirmation)

    2 - they are dissatisfied with the depth of their knowledge

    3 - they are convinced they have the real answer and are frustrated by the lack of interest in others about the same question

    the problem is not if they keep asking the same question - the problem is if they keep asking the same question to the same people - then there may be a mental problem as they will be hearing the same answers so one has to ask "What's your problem!!??"

  • Most of questions here search for opinions, and opinions are not constant

    "So many men, so many minds", a different lot of ppl at different time would give different opinions. And like an old saying "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.", ppl change, opinions change, so you can always hope to get some revolutionary ideas by ask a question gain.

    But the trolls that reposting brainless question over and over and over and over and over .... again in a month is just wanna piss ppl off and turn them back into report monkeys

    Well, I suspect that "Corinthians guy" is really a "bot" and not a real person. Other than that, some folks just have no imagination, so they keep doing the same stupid thing over and over again in hopes of getting a different answer.

    You asked spiritually speaking.And in a spiritual state, one needs to meditate

    And meditation involves a lot of repetition.

    Perhaps, these people are meditating, in their own way, with repeated questions.

    1) They didn't like the answers they got the first few times

    2) They thought the answers they got the first few times were hilarious

    Diverse reasons for asking the same thing over and over again, but common denominator: people answer them.

    I suspect they may wish to expose their question to different people for different possible answers since not everyone will be on at the same time browsing the fresh questions.

    "they are hoping the answer will change" was a good answer. attention? who doesn't seek attention?

    Some people make the same claims over and over again, but fail to provide the evidence. If you're intellectually honest, you'll ask them for the evidence.
