All you know is what you see

All you know is what you see - until you start too ask questions.
But what will you ask?

How are you?
What's up dude?
Or even
What is your name?
(And if you are like me you forget that name faster than it was said!)

We are stuck to know only what we see, until we ask?

I would like to ask - "What makes you tick?", but generally people don't know how to respond to that.
So instead I'll ask "  " and they say " " and so on untill hopefully I get to a bit of insight as to who this person really is or would like me to believe they are cause we all play a masking game of sorts. 

So untill I ask the right question you only say what you think I want too hear or what you think I can handle.

Don't you?

I know I do.
