I have a related problem, which is that I feel like I basically interview people, where I’ll ask follow up questions and so on readily.
But sometimes someone will ask me something high level, like where do you work, and I’ll answer literally, and I sort of expect them to ask a follow up question like I would but they don’t.
It feels like they are expecting me to talk about it at length if I want to, and that my brief answer indicates that I don’t want to talk about it.
Does anyone relate to this problem?
- JSR_FDED 1y agoYes, not following up after a single question makes it even worse. It signals either “I found your answer uninteresting and couldn’t be bothered to follow up “, or “that first question was perfunctory and I never really considered talking about anything other than myself”. When last did this happen to you?
