Why: for what reason or purpose

Insecurity (“”)

                Why aren’t you happier to see me

                Why don’t you look nicer when we go out

                Why do you always have to be so smart. . . or clueless. . . or dumb

Freedom (?)

                Why are you doing this

                Why don’t we try to work this out

                Why don’t you love me. . . or die. . . or answer my calls

Insight (!)

                Why did I put up with that for so long

                Why don’t I chase my dreams now

                Why would I settle for anything less. . . or unhappiness. . . or something broken

Happiness (.)

                Why did I not see you standing there the whole time

                Why has a kiss never tasted so sweet

                Why don’t we move in together. . . or get a cat. . . or call this home

Education (;)

                Why did I wait so long to do this

                Why don’t I read one more chapter

                Why can I not wait to master this. . . or to grasp more. . . or to make this a career

Foresight (. . .)

                Why don’t I _______

                Why wouldn’t we ________

                Why not ______. . . or _______. . . or ______
