Are you asking if there is an objective answer to the question, Is the glass (of t) half empty or half full?

I think my ts would usually respond to such questions with, "Why is this coming up now?" Which i could never understand and thought was a super dumb question, but in retrospect, yeah NOW i get why they were asking it.

But at the time, i wished they had been more specific, like, "what does your thinking about having children and the fact that your mother is warning you ahead of time not to expect her to babysit, what does that TELL you about your relationship with your mother?" For example.

So what question do you think future you wishes he would ask? Or whatever.
