A blog built for the questions you whisper, Google at midnight, or carry in silence.
We started AnswerItUp not to chase clicks — but to write the kind of answers we couldn’t find anywhere else. You know the ones: oddly specific, slightly awkward, deeply human.
Like:
How to respond when someone says “noted” and it feels cold
Why do I suddenly feel distant from my best friend?
How to stop apologising in every email
Most blogs serve up advice in neat little lists or generic paragraphs. But real life doesn’t work like that. It’s messier. More nuanced. And sometimes all you want is to hear from someone who gets it.
That’s where we come in.
We’ve been where you are — spiralling after a message, stuck in a thought loop, wondering if your question is too “small” to matter. But here’s the truth: if it’s living rent-free in your mind, it’s worth writing about.
Each article on AnswerItUp begins with a real question — something we’ve asked ourselves, something a reader sent in, or something we heard in passing and couldn’t stop thinking about.
Then we do what most search results won’t:
We unpack the emotion behind the question.
We test answers in real life.
We write what feels honest, not just what’s easy to rank.
We don’t chase trends. We follow what feels real. Whether it’s about communication, relationships, routines, mental noise, or just understanding your own reactions — we’re here for the deeper “why” behind everyday life.
I’m Mustajab Haider Bukhari, writer behind most of what you’ll find here. A chronic overthinker, long-time observer, and the person in every group chat who ends up writing the perfect reply message for everyone else.
I started AnswerItUp because I was tired of Googling emotional or practical questions — and being met with fluff, filler, or content that clearly hadn’t been lived.
So I started writing what I needed to read: honest, thoughtful, tested answers. Not perfect solutions. Just clarity. Other blogs I own include speakawesomely and cureoncall.
We’ve organised the blog into categories that reflect real-life headspaces:
Mind – Thoughts, emotions, overthinking, clarity
Life – Adulting, habits, routines, chaos
Love – Relationships, breakups, texts that haunt you
Work – Freelance, burnout, awkward professionalism
Why – Deep questions we all ask but rarely say out loud
Tech – Beginner-friendly how-tos and digital sanity checks
Where – Places and spaces, online and off, that shape us
Scripts – Thoughtful replies for sticky situations
Pets – Real questions about the furry (and feathery) ones
We may never have met. But if you’ve found this blog, chances are we’ve stood in some of the same moments. The confused ones. The tired ones. The strangely beautiful ones.
If you leave here feeling a little lighter, a little more understood — that’s the best kind of answer we could offer.
Thanks for being here. This place was made for you.
I’m the person who Googles things no one talks about — then writes the answers I wish I’d found. I’m not a guru or expert. Just someone who’s lived through the awkward texts, burnout phases, emotional resets, and overthinking spirals that shape real life.
AnswerItUp started as my way of turning quiet questions into honest, helpful words. Now, it’s a growing library of real answers — written for people like you, by someone who gets it.
