Do you ever feel kind of dumb when you ask someone for help? Especially when you think it is an easy question, but you just dont know it? Tell us why you feel like that and how you can over come that problem.. Or if you never felt like that, tell us if you ever thought others were dumb when they asked you dumb questions to your opinion..

I was taught when I was very little that one thing is to be ignorant and quite another to be stupid. So if I don´t know something, even if it´s a very small thing, I ask. It´s the only way to learn. Pride is dumb, ignorance isn´t. So I suppose the best is to relax and ask. And many people are glad to help out and give out a hand if you ask. Welcome to mylot and take care!

It is never stupid to ask for help and there are no stupid questions really. Asking questions is how we learn and if we dont ask, we dont learn..Don't ever walk around wondering about something and never knowing because you think the question is dumb..For the most part, people want to help others and get a satisfaction from doing so..It makes them feel good knowing they helped and it makes you feel good because you no longer have to wonder.,A win win if you will.

I do not feel bad about about asking anybody's opinion about something I do not know, however trivial the matter may be. To do something in the correct manner can never be wrong and to be pointed in the right direction when you do not know the way is in no way something to be embarassed about. So go ahead and keep those questions coming!
