Questions..........

For the Scorps here...do you detest being asked questions and reason that 'If I wanted you to know, I would tell you' or doesn't it bother you? I'm talking just general personal questions...nothing earth shattering or life or death questions.

Also, do people tell you that you are hard to read?

Depends on the question. Sometimes something simple as "Where are you going"? May get a nasty response (from me at least) I hate being asked that!

I'll also say depends on the person asking. If i feel like you are important to me and you ask me something then i will tell you. Other than that you will definitely know once you have overstepped your boundaries.

We are only hard to read by people that don't understand us.

Yeah I HATE being asked questions. Especially if they are concerning me. Sometimes I will willingly tell you stuff but just don't pry or ask..

Where are you going, who are you with, why? Those just REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY bug me..don't do it unless you want a slap.

Lol @ bling - 'who was that—'

Hahahha..I hate that..I really do..I usually fire back..and your asking me this because?..that usually shuts them up..

Actually the small talk questions are what gets on my nerves,the actual in depth conversations I like.Something like "how are you" is more likely to get on my testy side.The odd,different and non-routine questions is actually going to draw my attention to the chat.

I hate that.
I really do.

I don't like if i am on the phone and someone asks me "Who was that"? My response would be along the lines of "Why Nosey"? Don't ask me any questions. Mind ya business.

re: 'How are you?'

George Carlin had a hilarious routine making fun of those jive questions we all ask each other and especially the fake answers we give back.

G: *role playing* "Hi! How are you?!"
G: "Hey! I'm good!"
G: Bullshit!

Personally, I dislike those types of exchanges because they are so routine and if im not actually doing good, i dont want to be fake, but at the same time i dont want to divulge into my so-so day nor do i want to hint at it.

...because chances are, the person asking doesnt actually want to hear about it. 😛

Phone calls - not one to make an inquiry ... in the times that there have been calls w/my Scorp, he generally announces who's calling by saying "Hey so and so" and continues the conversation in my presence and/or after he has hung up made mention of who was on the other end.

"how are you" .... if I am asking someone with whom I have a close relationship, it's not the passing surface thing - it's really, are you doing okay, is there anything I can do for you ... have done this from time-to-time with my Scorp - he always responds, and doesn't mince his words - if he's angry, he says he's having anger management issues for the day, if it's a good day, he responds in that manner. I never ask him specific questions about it; however, I do ask if he feels like talking about it - if he does we do in depth and if he doesn't then we go on to something else. Once for one of those days when he was having a serious anger management issue, my recommendation was for him to pick up his teenage son and go to the batting cages for a couple of hourse in order to relieve some stress, then go have a beer and relax ... he chose to skip the cages and proceeded to have many beers at Hooters ... and then the next day e-mailed me the change in plans commenting "stress relief is stress relief, right?"
