Why do I get more enjoyment out of answering people's questions, rather than asking them?

Question

If you look at my past questions, most of them are self centered. What gives? Does that mean that I should just answer people's questions, unless I have something that is worth asking?

Answer 1

its simple, cuz you get points for that........hehe

Answer 2

Imo, it feels much more safe to answer other people's questions, rather than pose your own. When I ask q's, I fear judgment by others. I presume that this anxiety is due to my low self-esteem. Perhaps that is what you're experiencing?

I try to be very selective in the questions I answer- choosing those I believe may be helped by me sharing my perspective. I care very much about being able to help others. That is me. However, the downside is that I'm not fully being myself...which counteracts the benefit to sharing on this site.

I don't think that you should repress things, in order to feel that you are worthy. Who's to say a question is or isn't worth asking? You can always put yourself down for asking what you perceive to be self-centered q's, or you can hold those thoughts, feelings, concerns inside. Either way, those negative emotions towards yourself are still there. It's better to post & receive some feedback which may counterbalance your negative self-talk.
