RE: Too Shy To Ask

in CCC • 2 days ago

We really have a lot to lose if we are too shy when it comes to circumstances like this. Just like me, I often rather not ask and not even taking sample food from supermarket promoters.

I actually get the feeling that women are more likely to ask for directions than men, who seem to feel a bit embarrassed if they can’t find their way straight away. I agree with you that you end up losing a lot of information if you just hang about there for a while and don’t know what to do.

This is so real 😊 shyness really does make us miss a lot of good moments without even realizing it. Those supermarket promoters can be so sweet and persuasive though, and the food is actually really good most times. Maybe next time just take a bite, worst case you don't like it, best case you find a new favourite snack ◉⁠‿⁠◉

If it only was shyness, most men do not ask how or what because they feel embarrassed.
I was raised with these words: stupid questions do not exist only stupid answers.

Last week I read in the paper there are courses given how to travel by public transport by volunteers (no costs to pay). I believe this says enough about how complicated it became and what many struggle with.

I really respect that way of thinking. It takes confidence to ask when you don't understand, and many people don't have that.

For me, a good system should be so clear that you don't even need to ask. You should just be able to arrive, see, and go.

The fact that volunteers now have to teach it for free shows the people who designed it forgot about the everyday person.
