I love discovering new things about people through great conversation. But lately I’ve been thinking about how to avoid the pitfalls of asking a question that might make the other person feel uncomfortable or awkward. One of the reasons for that self-reflection is the fact that we have a junior in high school and previously, if I met up with one of her friends, I'd ask, “Where are you thinking about going to college?” I had no idea how much stress just that simple question creates. (I wrote a blog about it here!)
So this week, we asked you to send us your worst and best questions to make us laugh and help us get better! From what NOT to ask a pregnant woman to “what is the first movie that comes to mind when you think of Tim Curry?” Penn and I picked out some of our favorites to share with you on this week’s podcast. What's the best question you've ever been asked?
Special Announcement: We launched a 3-part bonus series All About ADHD! You can listen to the Part 1 now and pre-order our new book ADHD Is Awesome now!
