Asking for a friend. No seriously, I’m trying to figure out how to best explain this to a friend as I’m having trouble enumerating how I can do it.

That’s for saying so! I feel seen. Yeah there’s some kind of fucked up expectation in our culture that we just always already know things or be skilled. I think about most of the stuff I’ve done that has pissed people off (and there’s a lot, I’m a problem) but the offenses that got me the most vitriol were when I didn’t know a thing and either had to act on incomplete knowledge or state my ignorance.
Pretty fucked up that pressure even exists in dating! I developed this irrational fear of people who always seemed certain they already know everything a while back. Seems like they’ll take partial info to some really nasty places just for like, fun or something.
