This will be regarding power dynamics and dominance in conversation.
Is responding to "Why?" questions in conversation inherently make it look like you are explaining/justifying your decisions especially when it's related to something you do?
For example :-
"Why did you take up that decision / passion ?"
"Why did you not do the alternative ?"
I used to respond with reasons before but have been trying out flipping the question on them asking them to guess or why do they think the decision I took was necessary?
Is it a good strategic move for avoiding a one-down position or am I reading too much into this?
