Im afraid to ask questions. I'm know I'm asking a aquestion when while I'm asking for advice but its diferent over a computer than in person. I'm terrified to ask my parents and most people anything. I don't understand why.

Possibly it is because by asking questions you feel you are betraying the fact that you do not know something? Actually, we learn a great deal by asking questions. And a great deal by observation. It's known as 'empricism' and it pretty much accounts for everything we know other than the 'built in' (intrinsic, or intuitive) knowledge which all humans posess. Life skills, vocational skills and even basics like reading and speaking are by and large NOT intrinsic. Think about a baby born to a German woman and taken immediately for adoption to a an English couple, living in England. Would the child grow up speaking and writing in German? Would he/she have any idea that its mother was German? Of course, the answers are NO. So ask, about anything and everything that takes your fancy. You'll find people are usually very keen to pass on their skills and knowledge to others who show an interest. Notice that you're male? OK, it can be a bit harder for guys. We're kind of EXPECTED to know stuff, aren't we? Us guys never read the instructions, never admit we just don't know the answer, eh? I'd have a good go at overcoming this stereotype if I were you. You'll be a broader, wiser and more approachable guy if you do. Watch, learn and ask questions. Questions of others, and questions about yourself. Why, how, where, when. Why's this a good idea, why's that a bad one. If there's a better way, show it to me. Or even 'How the hell do I handle this at all?' !! ]
