No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

There's something to be said, about people that only come up with problems. Instead of presenting solutions. (Im talking about them, not you)
I'm not going to say i can relate too much. I was very much the opposite of you as a child. But I was also supposed to be perfect, Most things came easy to me. I was smart, I got top grades, I was active in acrobatics, but sometimes when I didn't know things. Instead of politely explaining it to me. I was often met by "WHAT!? You don't know this?? They don't teach you this? We were taught this at a much younger age than you". Ok. Cool.
Which obviously made me feel stupid. No matter how good I was. It was never enough. No matter how well i built something, it was never good enough. And no matter how far i could run. It wasn't far, or fast enough.
If I couldn't do to it on my own, no one was going to help me either. I was praised for being independant. But the reason I were, was because I learned early on, very early on. That no one is ever going to help me. I need to be able to do everything on my own. Otherwise nothing will get done. And that came back to bite me in the ass many years later.
So my advice to you. Try to see of you can seek professional help, ask your school if they know of any resources for mental health. Because trust me on this one. It would be so much better if you could get help now. Rather than 15-25 years later.
They can't fix the problems with your family. But they can help you find tools to deal with it. And it also feel pretty nice to talk to someone that can listen and understand.
