This year someone I know was not doing well so I was trying to help them with something yet I wasn't really taught how to do this thing well myself.
Take for an example, maybe this person couldn't cook for themselves and I was tasked with cooking for them, although I hadn't been taught how to cook and have taught myself to do so by reading online and watching videos and through trial and error.
So I only have so much confidence with the skill I developed myself and the system I set up for myself, while this person's system was different than mine (say they were allergic to peanuts, so I would have needed to always be on the lookout for peanuts being secretly added to things, which I wouldn't have even thought about in my own system of cooking).
So I guess it's a question to me of how to 1. develop better life skills, 2. how to work other people's systems if you aren't aware of all of what their needs are and 3. how to identify and close gaps in your "life skills" skillset.
Any input would be appreciated
I still have issues with some of this at times myself, and I’m more than likely on the second half of my life. Never be afraid to break things down into smaller steps. The big picture is always important, but breaking things down into as small of steps as possible will always help you to accomplish small wins along the way to the final goal. Good luck, and God bless fren.
Edit: I came back to say that there is nothing like learning something yourself from basically scratch, and accomplishing it with little to no help from anyone else. The feeling of accomplishment truly is something unique. Yeah, it may take longer, but you know you did it, and did it right.
