Note to self : stop explaining stuff. It must be so annoying to people... Sorry, y'all. Bad habits die hard.

The struggle is real.
Teaching is second nature.
It's the hardest thing to have knowledge that would be helpful to others and waiting for them to come ask you the right questions.
That's a very clean way to avoid imposing and only giving what is requested. It doesn't mean you're being stingy by only giving what is requested either, because you're open to more questions.
I think people are often afraid to ask questions because they're more afraid of betraying their ignorance which they think makes them look bad than they are happy about having the opportunity to dispel some quantum of ignorance and look forward to living with a slightly less distorted perspective.
Spot on... Spot on. I sometimes tell myself it's okay to act like a dummy because its the only way I know to make people feel comfortable enough to ask questions. And some topics, like bitcoin, I just haven't been able to get people asking questions at all. I think its because its brainy, or perceived to be. Yesterday, or maybe the day before, I learned something that tbh I should've known, so I used it as a convo opener - "I learned something new about bitcoin," and mayyyybe it got them thinking about it.
