Because we are stupid.

because we too lazy to ask our own selves.. just playing...
it get's hard to answer our own questions because we think and like other people opinions and thoughts more than ours

If we answered our own questions we wouldn't need school or books or this website

If we could answer our own questions, there would be no need for yahoo Q&A, plus there would be no need to even ask a question in the first place, because then it would mean you already know the answer.....right?

Right...... : O

We can always answer our own questions using the facility available here to 'add details'.... and then invite views and opinion of others. With respect to some type of questions, this process can be more useful since our own answer would more or less make sure nobody misunderstands our question resulting in posting an irrelevant answer.

We can't answer our own questions because of the point system for Yahoo answers. You receive points for answering questions. You could therefore rack up points, for not really doing anything.

If you know the answer why would you ask it?
It's no longer a question, it becomes a statement.

In regards to yahoo, you can always edit the Question to include your answer to see if people have a differing opinion.

but we can. some questions can only be answered by the one who asks it.

We can. Some of them we cannot at first but if we tried enough, we could! Anyone that answers your question does it based on experience or research. You can eventually have both for any given situation! So.. we CAN answer our own questions.

who says we can't??

Because man is interdependent.That is why there is a saying that,"no man is an island".
Our levels of understanding are different.
Then some of these questions "hit" us when we fail to understand the way one behaves or the situation we are in.That is why we can not answer our own questions some times.

because the main reason of asking is the answer. if we could answer our questions it wouldn't be a question it would be a discussion

u asked that questions because u dont know the answer, if u know the answers u dont have to ask that question

cos v dont kno the answer to it...

Then why ask the question in the first place?

Sometimes we know the answer but can't find the words.

Other times we are just totally clueless and require direction and response.

Sometimes the answers we settle for do not give us the proper resolve, and that only leads to more questions.

It is interesting to witness the diversity of responses.

We can, at a later date with more information. You seek..you will find. Do not limit your mind. It is capable of eventually finding the answer. Expand your limits....the answer is in the expansion.

because..... if we anser our question... we all become genius... there will be no dumb person... so imagine a world that is full of genius not one is dumb.... can you imagine??????

We seek approval of others.

because we don't know the answers.

cuz we cant think or it is far from our imaginations and mind
