Why do so many people absolutely need to have an answer for everything? There's nothing wrong with saying "I don't know"

“I don’t fucking know” is one of my favorite replies.

“Fucked if I know” 🤙🏻

Humility is tough

ikr? it's okay to not know

I don't know

A human response to being asked a question is to try and present an answer.

A stupid human response, yes. An intelligent human response would be to say "I don't know" followed by "How can I gather evidence that could point to a possible answer?"

Perhaps you should stop talking to people, it sounds like you would prefer to speak to a search engine.

You wish you had the quality of friends and family I have, you ol' lizard.

One of my favorite phrases

Majority don’t realize this. Some have been conditioned by family or in other words Environments. Others realize this in a later period of time , probably maturity. But I agree. Technically we don’t all know everything therefore instances of not knowing something exist.

AI learned it from watching us.

"that's a great question, I don't have an answer for that." It's a go to for me lol

Because they’re too smucken fart

This was one of the biggest realizations of my life. Up until then, I truly believed I had to have an answer for everything, an opinion on every single subject or otherwise, I was failing somehow. Letting go of that idea was so freeing!
