She said that little kids ask why all the time, not adults. She said it is also becasue I am not fully grown. Physically I am but she said that emotionally, my emotional growth is still that of a young child. Ugh.
How about asking WHY inside -- you don't have to ask out loud, if it irritates other people, but you don't have to stop asking yourself, anyway... Then trying to figure out the answer yourself, if those "other" people won't give it to you.
