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?

  • If I don't understand and it is something important, I will ask questions till I do understand. It is usually because the instructions are wrong, or are based on unstated assumptions. In both cases it is not my issue, so I don't feel bad. It also often helps to improve the instructions, teaching, info, etc.

    I guess it is my systematizing brain that always looks for rules and the root cause of any issues. I can't stop it.

    I get frustrated when I need to know and there is no source of info, or if there is a source and they don't know the answers either.
