Send to a Friend
Why does my friend ask nothing but useless questions?

Every time we get together to chat, my female friend only asks questions that I can tell she doesn’t really want to know the answers to, or she compliments me excessively. She never talks about herself or contributes to the conversation naturally. I know that it’s polite to ask questions and show interest in others during conversation, but there seems to be an underlying reason why she does it. She is aware that she asks “stupid questions” but she doesn’t know why she does it. I think she might be self conscious, or uncomfortable talking about herself; or she may feel that nobody’s interested in her thoughts and opinions, so she just asks questions without thinking to avoid talking about herself. I’m interested in hearing any psychology based theories or thoughts so that maybe we can have more productive and natural conversations. She grew up with her grandmother who was usually condescending and unappreciative of her. What are your thoughts?
