My dumb questions used to get ignored, now they get real answers.
For a long time, I'd post in here and get maybe one reply, if that. The questions were too broad, like 'how do I get better at this?' I changed my method about two months ago. Now I make my question super specific, like 'what's the best way to ask about a sensitive family topic without starting a fight?' I give a short example of the exact situation. The difference is crazy. My last post got 15 replies with actual, useful steps. The timeframe was just a couple of months of trying this new way. It turns out people want to help, but they need a clear target. Has anyone else found that making your ask super narrow is the key to getting good advice here?
