Question Hooks

Why do challenging questions work?

"Challenging question" works because it forces self-reflection. People think: "Am I doing that? Do I feel that way?" It's introspection wrapped in relatability.

Plus, challenging questions create connection. When you question assumptions, people feel seen. "Is it just me, or does everyone else feel this way?" creates belonging. People love feeling like they're not alone.

What makes challenging questions so relatable?

It works because it hits two triggers: self-reflection and belonging. The question forces self-reflection. The "is it just me" creates belonging. People see "Is it just me, or does everyone else feel this way?" and think: "It's not just me. Others feel this way too." They click because they want validation. It's not about being clever—it's about creating connection through shared experience.

About Question Hooks

Question Hooks work because questions demand answers. When you ask a challenging question, people have to think. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to answer. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to ask questions people care about. The "challenging question" hook does exactly that—it makes people question their assumptions.
