Why do we never use (most) contractions on their own?

1.36K views

“Are you cold?”
“I’m”

“Have you showered?”
“I’ve”

“Is it raining?”
“It’s”

“Am I ugly?”
“You’re”

You get the gist. Why is it so weird to say these instead of “I am, I have, It is, You are”?

Looks like there are some “real” answers here but just wanted to say I do this with my partner and it’s hilarious. She will ask if she’s pretty and I’ll say “you’re”, or will say “you’re home!” And I’ll respond with “I’m”. It’s fun.
