I see these articles all the time and I don’t really get it. Are people walking around just terrified of looking stupid? When did that become a cultural value? Where is that being taught and reinforced?
I just don’t get the need for this article. Asking questions is foundational. It would be like seeing a flurry of “Don’t be afraid that drinking water at work will make you look dehydrated” articles. Or “Just drink coffee from time to time.” Or “Use the restroom when needed.” It’s just weird to me that people need to be told this, and it makes me suspect there is an underlying failure of culture or education at play.
Would anyone who has had this experience be willing to share insight?
