when people ask scenario questions, do you often assume that it's real life?

Question

or that it's the askers' real-life situation?

i meant, people here in this forum.

you're right on that 1 tea4one. i do the same thing. most of my Q's are only meant to study how other people would react to the same situation.

Answer 1

Not necessarily.

To Jodi d: I ask these Qs by observing others around me, and thinking things through from their perspective.

Answer 2

When people ask scenario questions I like to try and place myself in the scenario, then observe it from the outside. Just so I have two perspectives on the scenario.

Answer 3

I can usually tell if the asker is talking about themselves,or someone else,because they will use the words: "He or She" too much,as to being very careful not to use "Me or I".

Answer 4

I try to apply any situation to my own life so I can answer the question.

Answer 5

In most cases, no, but I ALWAYS assume the WSIDR is telling the honest-to-ralph truth. Every time. Really.

Answer 6

nah, i hae to have a real person to attach a situation to, and in my head the people on yahoo aren't real.... nothing is real that i can't touch... but thats just my own abstract reality!

Answer 7

Mostly, yes. Its like when someone starts a sentance with "I have this friend...."

Answer 8

I do unless it is sheer stupidity ! You can tell if it is.

Answer 9

if it wasn't why and how would they come up with such a question.
