Ask a Question
Every belief holds a story – and every question helps reveal it.
When you ask someone about their belief, you’re not challenging them. You’re giving them a chance to understand themselves more deeply.
This is your space to be curious.
Why Ask Questions
A well-asked question can open a door that a statement never could. It shows respect, invites reflection, and builds understanding between people who see the world differently. On TrueTalk, your role isn't to debate or convince. It's to explore – gently, honestly, and with genuine curiosity.
When you ask a question, you help others think – and you grow, too.
What Makes a Great Question
A good question is:
- Open-minded: It seeks to understand, not to argue.
- Specific: It touches on something in the belief that catches your interest.
- Short and clear: It should be easy to read and respond to quickly.
- Respectful: It assumes good intent and invites reflection, not defense.
Example Questions
If someone says:
“I believe technology brings people closer together.”
You might ask:
- “In what ways do you see that happening most clearly?”
- “Do you think that closeness online feels the same as in person?”
If someone says:
“I believe failure is essential to growth.”
You could ask:
- “Can you remember a time when failure changed how you saw yourself?”
- “Do you think everyone benefits from failure, or only those who reflect on it?”
Change the way you look
at things, and the
things you look at change.
Wayne Dyer
Your Turn
Choose a belief category. Find a belief that stirs your curiosity. Then ask a question that helps the believer go deeper. You don’t need to be clever – just genuinely interested. The goal isn’t to win. It’s to understand.
