Comment on When asked a question, what is your first reaction, to answer the question or to defend yourself?

It depends on the question.

If the question seems to come from a place of genuine curiosity or if the person seems to be asking in good faith I usually try to answer the question to the best of my ability (and sometimes I might still try to answer even if its clear the pwrson is not asking in good faith).

If the question is obviously coming from a place of bad faith or is obvious the person asking doesn’t actually want an answer, sometimes I will still try to answer but most of the time I won’t even bother.

If the question is accusatory in nature, I will obviously want to defend myself if I am innocent of the accusation.
