Do you use answers as a way of venting your anger/hurt, about the issue/problem asked?

Answer 1

No, I keep my objectivity in the forefront of my mind. I use my empathy to understand what's being asked. Occasionally I will offer my personal history relating to the question.

I do see comments that are hurtful, but I keep in mind that those responders have issues they are dealing with too.

I mostly learn from answers. If I find myself getting emotional about a question, I know it's a topic for me to pay more attention to, in hopes to improve myself.

I don't vent here. I assume people are asking for help, and I offer what ever I can to help them, not hurt them.

Answer 2

Depends on the question. When i have a problem or issue I'm just totally honest about how i feel, there's no point hiding anything or holding back otherwise how are you going to resolve anything. I sometimes say things in the heat of the moment i don't mean but i always apologise if i know I've over stepped the mark. Two adults should be able to communicate with each other in a rational way

Answer 3

Nope. Not to vent out my own personal anger, but some questions can be provoking due to a similarity in a past experience, and sometimes things you could have done, which you did not, and on remembering it, you feel anger pain and tell the person who has the issue on how they could solve it. A desperate attempt to help someone with 'thoughts' of your own over that particular issue/problem.

So, do you vent your anger/hurt....?

Answer 4

It all depends how big the issue/problem.
It may be something that hits a raw nerve like
one last week of some rascist person - asking
questions like 'why do all white people smell'.
I find that a very offensive question. So its good
to be able to vent your anger. Better than reading
a columnist in the paper and them getting me going!!
Cos they can say what they like and we can,t answer
them whether we like it or not!! Unless we take time
to report it to the Editor. In which case I would be writing
every day.
AND I like to come on here for very good reasons too!

Answer 5

Nope not at all !!

my answers are based on experience/knowledge and logic!

Granted some questions are so far “out there” they appear ridiculous, at that point I look at the poster’s list of questions for a pattern of ignorant or asine questions. IF they have a history of asine questions I won’t waste my time answering period.

Some poster’s are truly clueless about what they are asking,, and I may give them a pretty blunt “WAKE UP!” answer.. a la Dr. Phil.. but not needlessly mean or demeaning.

Answer 6

Somewhat of a rhetorical question, IMHO. I would have to say yes of course.

I personally do.

I think everyone most likely does.
Human emotion controls everything we do. The only reason people do anything in life is because of how it makes them feel inside. Hard sad truth, I think. But self preservation is our number one instinct. When we have kids, they are part of ourselves, so we must work to preserve them, to further our own genetic code I kind of think. I know I may sound cold, but those are just the things I have started to wonder to myself over the years. I could be wrong, and sometimes, often, I hope I am. You work to support your family because you would feel bad if you didn't or on the flipside, you give something to a loved one that they want or need because it will make you feel good to see them happy. But ultimately anything and everything you do is because of how it ties into you're emotional sub-conscious. A baby that is simply not given love or just human touch will die, or a child not given enough of it will have tremondous developmental issues. Look at the sad horrors we see in inner city america. We know this deep down inside, and it stays with us forever. There is a tiny seed of memory planted deeply in a bundle of neurons and nerve cells called our brains that makes us do what we have to do or even just want to do because we FEEL like we must/must not. We are the most advenced creatures on earth, and that is because of our resourcefullness and relationships with others of our species. That being said, and besides our basic physical needs, our complexity makes the deepest human fear that of not feeling loved or accepted. So my reasoning is that if you ask or answer a certain question you obviously have some sort of emotional equity in it. Why do you think we are all doing this yahoo answers game? Because we need to feel connected to something. I humbly *think* the safe reply of "no do you?" is a good way to get an answer to a question that one is wondering themselves without looking like they are putting themselves out there, thus looking in need or weak or something. But I have been known to be wrong before.

Answer 7

Personally, I believe that would be inappropriate, and unfair to the answer. Experience certainly should be a must, but adding personal feelings into the question may juust confuse the questioner even more. God Bless !!

Answer 8

Yeh, sometimes, people are so dumb and senseless about knowing what to do best. Its a great way of letting it all out, without hopefully being over too offensive.

Answer 9

Unfortunately no! I use answers to help the day go by quicker! Its just a shame I've got to do work in between!

Answer 10

Yes, sometimes I do. Mostly of the time, I try to provide some real help.
