What happens to your brain when you ask a question?
When we’re asked a question our whole brain is stimulated and serotonin is released. This release of serotonin causes the brain to relax and makes it most able to find answers and develop solutions. With the conditions set for the brain to respond to the question, there’s a rush of dopamine.
When you ask a question but don’t really mean it?
When you ask a rhetorical question, you don’t really expect an answer. Imagine your brother is blasting his music and you ask, “Could you play that music any louder?” You don’t really expect him to answer — you just want him to turn it down.
What do you do when someone asks you a personal question?

What happens when you hear a question?
Questions trigger a mental reflex known as “instinctive elaboration.” When a question is posed, it takes over the brain’s thought process. And when your brain is thinking about the answer to a question, it can’t contemplate anything else.
What is it when you say one thing but mean another?
Irony is “the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.” Inside jokes told subtly, so that outsiders don’t even know they are told, creates irony. Likewise, if I say something to you intending you to understand it one way, even though I mean it another way, I am speaking ironically.
