If you have already gone through our lists of Would You Rather questions and confusing questions to ask your friends, now would be the appropriate time for some What if questions just to add to that turmoil state left by the previous queries. So if you are ready for some good What if questions to mull over, keep reading!
Many of us play the What if game quite a lot in our heads. We often catch ourselves thinking, what if we had done something differently? What if what we did was wrong? While learning from past mistakes is good, the past can’t be changed, so there’s no reason for it to occupy so much space in your head. Overthinking isn’t the same as healthy problem-solving and is literally good for naught.
However, there are plenty of What if game questions and deep questions to ask that will not put you in a bad mood or leave you worried. On the contrary, asking thought-provoking, deep questions or just asking questions in general builds emotional intelligence and, most importantly, helps you learn. No wonder most dialogues with children consist of questions and answering them!
Whether to learn more about yourself, get to know your friends better, or simply fantasize, the What if game is great for either! Below, we’ve compiled a list of What if questions to ask to rack one’s brain and hopefully establish stronger connections with people. Is there a What if question on the list that got your brain hurting or sparked a heated debate? Let us know!
