insecure

why are some people always on the defense mode when being asked even by a very non-provocative, innocent question ?

they always make an issue that it is always about them. sus. they are so insecure about their work (or by not working or not knowing their job, for that matter).

a question answerable by a yes or no will get several paragraphs of explanation sounding them more guilty of a crime that they are not being accused of.

it was just a question. they always provide answers as if their capability in doing their job is being doubted. well, in fact, it's not. not yet, at least.
