Came here to say this. Being afraid to look stupid helps with keeping a certain image for employers. If you aren’t afraid to look stupid but end up failing a lot and don’t try to fake that confidence and knowledge after while you’re still working things out, you end up with the devil effect unfortunately.

Also, if you end up in a position above others, their trust in you often relies on how confident you act, even if you’re not sure of yourself.

So I guess the takeaway tends to be: don’t be afraid to fail so you can learn, but don’t be too obvious about that failure.

You. I like you. Thank you for putting this info in easy to understand terms. It’s helped confirm my idea that my restless and achy legs are at least partially cause by a lack of exercise
