Do me a favor.

Quit making fun of people (of any age but especially kids) who ask genuine questions.

I have to pull questions out of adults now because at some point someone made fun of them for being curious.

It's not embarrassing to learn, you shouldn't feel guilty for thinking of a question and asking an expert.

You should feel happy that you are still curious about the universe.

Make learning a positive experience? Please?

@Quenby the question is how to learn to ask despite getting bad reactions all the time?

@alice_follows_rabbit @Quenby internalize that a bad reaction speaks to the reactor, not the questioner. We don't know what we don't know, and it's ok to ask questions to learn! If someone gets haughty or whatever, that's their own feeling of inferiority.

In other words, don't take a bad reaction personally. Easier said than done, I know. We all have a right to ask questions or need further explanation.
