If I don't want their honest response I don't ask anything. People tend to be possibly overly open with me anyway. I look mostly harmless and I just have this weird ability to draw people out. I did that with several people in hospital both recent times. They told me things they'd not shared with anyone ever and still did not share while they were there. I'm also a fixer, I will repair or figure out how. I care about everyone, and people in general fascinate me to no end. If someone answers me with honesty, I find that person needs help and is desperate for it. I'm certainly not qualified for fixing most things emotional/relationship, but I've gotten through a lot myself and could be helpful or at least comforting.
