Just because you don't answer someone's questions, does that mean you don't like them?

Question

Do you strive to answer all the questions you can, or do you just answer those people that you like? Personally, I only answer questions where I feel that I can give a good answer, but that doesn't mean that I am not aware of certain people, or not like their questions, I just don't know how to answer them. What are your thoughts on it?

Answer 1

Looking at my answers, I tend to bounce around from the regulars that I answer, to random sidetracks that I see that seem interesting. Sometimes I'll answer every one of a friend's open Qs, but if I get around to at least one of them, just to make an appearance, I feel I've done my job! HaHaHa! Some people have questions that are either too intelligent for me to even try to answer, or that I don't relate to, but I really like the person...so I may never answer their stuff, but one has no bearing on the other.

Answer 2

I try to answer everyones questions but sometimes i am just at a loss of what to say so I skip over that one or yea I know this is bad I'm not on the computer too long and try to fit n as many questions as I can so I answer the really e z ones so I can hurry up and get back to work, or dinner, or something like that

Answer 3

I usually answer questions that I like or that I think have a good answer to as well. Sometimes I'll answer what others might call "stupid" questions just because sometimes they can be fun. I don't take this too seriously. I just want to have fun and hopefully make someone laugh in an answer I give or in some way help them.

Answer 4

Sometimes I want to be silly so I'll only really answer the silly questions (normally from Dr Phil and involving midgets). Other times, I want to answer a serious question. I have to go to a different category to do that, but I do find them here and there. I do try to answer all the questions of certain people because I do like them but I don't really discriminate against others because I answer their questions when they ask something I feel like answering. Does that answer your question?

Answer 5

I agree I too only try to answer the questions where I feel I can give an advise. If I dont know the answer then I just dont say a thing, I just dont reply a simple "no"

Answer 6

Here, I'm selective, or can say in brief that I too answer those questions which I feel may really B helpful, make sense, logical, at best of my knowledge & intelligence, good one in a way, mostly, not that to feel myself smart, barring some exceptions some times. Remaining everything matches with your thoughts, 'm somewhat like U in a way, I think.

Answer 7

I agree - I try to answer the questions that I have some knowledge in the area or am able to do some research on the subject. Some questions I answer because I want to give my opinion such as religion or politics. I look forward to answering more of your questions!

Answer 8

I answer questions that intrique me, or make me feel sarcastic or witty. I also answer those people who I know won't report etc... so yeah, I do pick certain people to answer. Once I've had interaction with certain people and feel I can trust them, I am more able to feel comfortable answering whatever I feel like, even if it's a little sarcastic (for fun!)

Answer 9

I answer the questions I like & where I can give a good answer
I have no feelings one way or the other about most people here.
But, I do have my favorite people (yes, you are one, I answer
all your questions I can find). Because I love their questions.
Either they are a great question or a hilarious question.

Have a great weekend.

Answer 10

No it doesn't mean that. I pass over questions sometimes if I don't think I can give a decent answer. No offense to the asker is intended though.
