My strategy for overcoming this is to congratulate myself out loud so they know not to answer until I’m done.
Unless they stare at you like a freak and than silently go away
I’m so far beyond the point of caring how people look at me, and so far past the point of wanting to talk to anyone.
What you’ve just described would be considered total victory.
That’s why, when I say “good question,” I thoughtfully neglect to provide an answer.
But that’s likely because I only say that when I don’t know the answer.
You don’t hear the answer because I use “great question” to stall and deflect because I don’t know the answer.

A tweet from 13 years ago. Bravo, solid shitpost.
He’s still congratulating himself to this day.

😓
I’ve got tweets from the 80s
I think you mean -1180s
The 1180s BCE were the original 80s. No one cares about the 1880s CE except some young dudes maybe, I’m not judging
I did
compliments are so rare, you should savour them as much as you can.
I really appreciate your username. Forgot my hrt this morning but I’m on track again
ye can’t forget yer Tit-tacs
When it’s a truly great question, there won’t be an answer. It’ll be at the fringes of knowledge of any expert.
I was at a panel with Joel Robinson once, and I asked how he’d compare getting started in public access stations vs doing YouTube today. He said it was a great question, but didn’t have much of an answer. He’s self-admittedly an old man who didn’t have to start from scatch on YouTube.
Edit: autocorrect corrected
That’s alright, because people usually say that when they don’t know the answer themselves.
Everytime you follow-up with a question to chatgpt:
“Great question “ is not a great answer
