Perhaps this is because of the timing or tenor of the questioning, or perhaps the questioning awakens a sensitive place in the person who is receiving the questions.
When questions are met with disdain, it's good to take a pause, assess the situation, and note what's happening. What did the disdain look like:
- angry response
- silence
- negative looks
- disinterest
- sarcasm
- threats
For those who ask tough questions, this is important to consider.
