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 2 weeks ago, we walked past the location of the incident that made us stop asking questions when we were 13. It's the 1st time we had been there since.
We asked a mundane question to our parents because we're curious if there's an association between 2 things. Our dad then made fun of us to a stranger.
We had completely repressed memories of that incident, so when it came back to us we were just a wreck.
We realised how much that one event fucked up our development. We went from shy, to fully unable to ask questions.
