There is a time and place for everything including answering a question with another question, it sometimes puts the original question into focus and a new prospective.

Spot on, but if a certain persons does this constantly I get the uncertain negative feeling that they are trying to point out the ignorance of the first person asking a question, more than a positive thing. I’d like to think I’m wrong though.

For some it is a cultural & regional habit.
But I avoid people who do that. I don't see the point of sticking around to see if that is just the way the talk or if
they are avoiding answering the initial question, because they are dishonest or deceptive or concealing something.
There is also the possibility that it is sarcasm.. over the initial question, especially if they deem it inappropriate or none of your business

"Why are you asking?"

My go to answer when people ask me a question I DON'T want to answer because its none of their business.

Should they NOT get the subtle hint and continue to push for an answer...

I'll simply say "If I thought it was any of your business, I would've told you long ago."

I'm not exactly what you need if you have a weak psyche or stupid

Bellanna: I agree.

I got some men over to repair something in my bathroom. One of them did nothing but ask me questions about my private life all the time.

How old are you?
Where do you work?
Is it your only job?
Are you married? Any boyfriend?
etc. etc.

The only way to stop this was to ask him some questions and make him talk about himself.
Good show!handshake
