What is the difference between "eher" and " lieber" in German? Are the two synonyms? If yes, then which one is the most used?

Ich würde lieber mit Toni ausgehen als mit dir Shopping. (you would not say: Ich würde lieber nackt die Straße runter laufen … because you not plan it to do at all — not even on a later time)

Example:

lieber is more specific: I love it more .. I want it better

Why do people with trauma easily recognize other people with trauma through eye contact?

You cannot really say what is used more. As in other languages the “love” word is used a lot and also all derived words. But fillwords are also used a lot.

Da würde ich ja eher nackt die Straße runter laufen als mit dir zu schlafen.

eher is a fillword .. used in many situations. Originally it means: in an earlier time, before doing the thing you proposed — I do another (stupid) thing

Why do nearly all of the answers on Quora have “read more” and when I click on it, I get a virus warning every time? Has anyone else had this happen?
