Confused of Anglesey

TheCatWoman

I frequently confused and I'm not afraid to admit it, lots of people seem to think being confused is a bad thing and should be hidden, but if we pretend we understand when we don't  are we not in more danger of being misunderstood and confused? Why is saying, 'I don't know?' such a bad thing?

  • I agree with what you are saying  and it works if you're intelligent.

    The problem I have is when I say I don't understand to someone, sometimes they will tell me again in a slightly different way and I still don't get it.  Then I get embarrassed and feel stupid and slow. So I'm reluctant to ask for clarification.

    Even with family members because they get angry sometimes. It's as if people haven't got the patience or time to explain.
