How would you feel if you asked an important question and no one answered?

Question

No..It didn't happen, but it could.

Answer 1

that i was too clever for everyone and no one could challenge me :)


or the question didn't go through properly (it happens sometimes) and if i didn't see it listed in the category i'd ask it again.

Answer 2

Some questions on here (assuming it was on here) get covered up. I usually just look at the first page of questions. The newer questions push the older ones to the back, and sometimes I don't see them at all. This could be what happened to yours, or people either didn't find your question important, or they didn't have an answer. Who knows.

Answer 3

If it was in Y!A, I would feel slightly displeased and would extend the time given for people to answer.

Otherwise, it's a bit complex. If I asked the question where no one could hear me, I would not be too surprised. Probably I would have been talking to myself, in which case I would be responsible for providing the answer. Or I might be aksing an imaginary creature, in which case my feelings would depend on our relationship, my beliefs about that relationship and, possibly, other considerations listed below.

If I would ask the question where one or more other people could hear, my feelings would depend on numerous factors, like:

1) Did they actually hear me?
2) Were they paying attention?
3) Could they understand the question?
4) Are they thinking it over?
5) Have I left them speechless?
6) Did they feel like part of the conversation?
7) What were my intentions in asking the question?

Assuming I am engaged in discourse with one or more entities who are not otherwise distracted and who understand what I asked, etc., I might feel any of the following, depending on the specific situation:

Ignored, Im/patient, Angry, Frustrated, Annoyed, Irritated, Pleased, Superior, Inferior, Depressed, Embarrassed, Satisfied, Smug, Tormented, Enlightened, Sick, Proud, Ashamed....

Many feelings are possible. Depends on the details and the context.

Answer 4

I would think that maybe I asked the wrong people.

Did it happen on here? You might want to ask it in a different category.

Or I would consider the possibility that maybe it wasn't important after all.

Answer 5

maybe because what seems important for some people it isn't for some others!

Answer 6

I would feel as though I had wasted my time and points. I would feel worse than before I had started.

Answer 7

answer my economics question under general social science so i dont have to deal with the pain tonight

Answer 8

I would think that maybe no one knew the answer.

Answer 9

Answer 10

depressed because you think that you are not that important to you...
