I used to watch my older family members shut down when undertaking a computer task they’ve never tried before. “I don’t know how to connect this new scanner,” they might say.
“I don’t either, but we’ll figure it out.”
My response could have been nicer. What’s important, though, is I’ve realized we’ve normalized a certain feeling in adulthood that is misleading. The feeling I’m referring to is competency.
When did the standard become that we must be competent in everything that we do?
In fact, I’ll go so far as to say that if you know how to do everything you’re doing that is a signal that you’re not exploring enough.
Let’s hope in your recent history and your recent future that you were specifically doing something you had no idea how to do. If not, you know what to do next…
