Its music to the ears to hear answers that one expect.But we have to learn to take negative answers in our stride too.Every one is entitled to his and her opinion,and sometimes some unexpected answers are most wecome and appreciable,because they help us to look and analyse a situation from an entirely different perspective,and helps to broaden our out look.....Resorting to humour in the most serious situations is also a welcome option to me......

Who doesn't like to hear answers that will please us? I always like it when people agree with me but I am always ready for a response that doesn't agree with me or another option that I haven't thought of. I always enjoy what others have to say just as long as they don't say it in a disrespectful way.

My friend it would be a perfect world if every answer we had pleased us! But we are all human and we do not live in a perfect world so we have to accept that not all the answers or responses will please us, providing they are not rude, they are constructive criticisms and we accept other people's difference of opinion then that is acceptable. This is how we learn by getting other answers different from our own.

It all depends on the question and I never expect that all answers come in favour of me because every personis unique and their opinions as well.

If you only have people around you who will only tell you what they think you want to hear you will never discover the truth. Far better to hear people's true views, and more interesting too.

I like answers which are related to the questions that i have placed and not ones which are offputting, sidelining or confusing. At the same time will not take abuse as an answer as well.

I do not mind reading a contrary view to mine, only thing is the contrary views, if put across, in a decent manner, looks good. I do not expect that everybody is going to be in agreement with me. There are certain members and friends here, who come out with a contrary view, but they do it in a very nice and logical manner.

Nice and decent are what you are made up of.

I have no problem with any answers as long as they aren't hypocritical, rude attacks, or complete illogical nonsense. If someone just has a different opinion from mine that's fine, I'm always up for a logical, well reasoned, polite debate. Or if debate isn't realistic at that moment the we can always agree to disagree and it's done. Unfortunately most people have no clue how to debate and find any disagreement with their point of view as a personal attack or criticism. That's sad because a lot of good discussions are needlessly turned into battles.

I have more of a problem with asking the questions in the first place. It seems I need to work more on asking the tough questions to begin with. But yes, I think I would be ready to take anything for an answer that was not said rudely or attacking.

You are right.Some people don't know to differ gracefully.

I accept a lot of answers that are like and contrary to my beliefs. But I don't stand by and let people insult me or condemn me either. Then I feel I must stand up for myself. Take care

I appear easy going and to many friends, I am the type of person who takes anything for an answer. However, I know the reverse is mostly true. I am very sensitive and often get affected by what people say. I constantly remind myself not to take what people say personally, but it's easier said than done. I'm still learning to manage my own expectations (Best is to Not have any expectations at all) so that I will be able to take anything for an answer.

The best policy is not to ask questions if you are not ready for the answers.
