You don’t have to have an answer the moment a question is asked. Sometimes, you really do need to think about it—and that’s okay. Saying something like “That’s a good question. Let me think about it.” gives you space to reflect while also showing respect for the other person and the topic. It signals that you’re not just throwing out an answer for the sake of it, but that you care about giving a thoughtful response. It also shows humility—the willingness to admit you don’t have all the answers in the moment. Taking time to think can lead to deeper conversations and more meaningful insights.
