I think it’s also critical thinking skills that most people lack. So when you use critical thinking to analyze a situation you don’t know anything about, they are impressed.

We have a light switch that we had no clue how to operate when we moved into our new house, and it was painful how utterly impossible it was for my mom to figure it out, she tried using it like a normal switch several times and simply gave up…
I then went “well it presumably works somehow, let’s just test all the possible ways there are to interact with a button”, and it turns out you hold the switch in to dim/brighten the lamp alternately. Took me like 2 minutes to figure out.

Which explains why people like her struggle so immensely with computers and technology, and man it’s exhausting to deal with.

Lol, I try not to judge people that don’t have that ability to solve problems cause I think people’s brains are just wired differently. But yes, it can be exhausting!

ooh i can actually speak to this! yes i know lots of nothing, but that nothing builds like a snowball, and then one day you wake up and are in your mid 30s and all those things you know are now expertises and people start to rely on you for that.

trust the process, you will keep learning more as time goes on and you will be able to put that to use. just not in your 20s. your 20s is where your dreams go to die temporarily
