Has Anyone Developed Life Skills Their Parents Didn't Teach Them and What Tips Do You Have on How to Do So?

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

One of the best things I ever read, or was told(can’t remember) is always break the process down into as small of steps as possible, and then find a way to break them down even smaller. It’s served me well over the years to not get overly frustrated, and impatient. It’s also ok to start a project, and then come back to it a few days later or the next weekend if that’s the only free time you have. Be patient, take your time, and do it right(not perfect) the first time.
