You know, I have thought the same thing. But think about it, we are trying to get peoples attention. You wont get someones attention if the subject sounds boring. The subject has to jump out at people. And we the questioners hope to get the most answers, so making the subject snazzy helps in the matter. I dont know what im talking about do I =)

No-one wants to look stupid and it isn't 'cool' to be smart, what's a person to do?
P.S. You made a boo-boo: "everybody , including". We all make mistakes, even when we're trying to look clever; trying just cuts down on those mistakes.
P.P.S. Oh, and we're all the center of our own universe, that is, we think people will care about what we do when really they're busy being concerned with themselves (like I am).

hiya Issac, It sounds in case you're overwhelmed without solutions to why you react or do no longer react to happenings. i might strongly recommend you're making an apt which includes your loved ones healthcare expert for a checkup to confirm that's no longer a actual undertaking. And as quickly as this is ruled out, you ask him for a referral to a therapist. The therapist would be of super help to you in finding what's triggering the innovations you have and help you to handle them, and why you'll be experiencing those beside the point thoughts. God Bless and good success, you may get the help you decide on, so do it please.

As for me, I'm not so much concerned with looking clever than I am with just avoiding looking like a total dumb@ss.

We all are conscious about ourselves, in a small or a large degree, that making mistake or being silly would make him/her self feel stupid even when no one really gives a ****. Or, people give more attention to more defined questions, but not too much. Therefore, when asking, a person may force his/her self to ask more interesting question.

Am I trying to be clever when answering this too?

So you can get a star on your question and get some attention? Everyone who's asked a question wants to be heard. Makes us proud when people are paying attention to what we say---especially the trolls.

Because it is natural to want to give a good impression of ourselves. Who wouldn't enjoy conversing with another person who is witty?

i don't think most people think about whether their questions look clever or not...
this definitely says something about you...

Who wants to look like an idiot when they are asking something?
