"Trying to get answers before fully considering the problem." "Being uncomfortable with not knowing."

These two things seem totally at odds to me and it's something I struggle with constantly. How do you ever know if you've considered the problem enough? If you come to a problem you cant solve and go to someone for help there's always a chance that person will ridicule you and put you down, destroying your motivation, because you didn't "fully consider the problem" in his eyes.

If you goto someone else for help and they ridicule you, that person is wasting your time, and you should ignore them. If the person won't help, or at least give you constructive criticism, then ignore them.

It doesn't matter if you didn't fully consider the problem, it matters if the other person will help you. And sometimes, if the other person doesn't know either, he can at least make himself feel good by making you feel bad. Don't let him.
