Craig, I know how you felt and feel. In my experience, this problem often comes along with imposter syndrome. I often find myself asking, why am I even here if I can't even solve the simpelest problems. At the end of the day, we have to accept that it's just normal to be stuck sometimes and that's OKAY to ask for help, as you wrote in your essay. Thank you for sharing your thought on this! :)
This is literally me, I am always having a monologue in my head teeing how doing/not doing X would make be look dumb. This is a a blog I will try to remember at such times. Thanks a lot for sharing this!
This resounded in my head. Long time ago, I used to be like that, all the time i was worried about others could think about me and that made me unsure. One day I talked about economics in front of my classroom and I guess i did it well because they all praise me because of my presentation and then I got confident about everything. I wasn't afraid of anything and now I'm sure, even if I failed, as I at the end understood that one can make mistakes and learn from them, what I think you need more to be confident about any thing is credit and support of your help; if one friend can support you, everything will be ok.
I would like to thank you for your videos, they are very useful to me beyond imagination. I'm currently pursuing masters degree in development economics and your videos had strengthen my willingness to study this field.
Sometimes I hesitate to ask question in the fear of not looking perfect, any tips to be more active in my classes?

This is me: I am afraid of looking and sounding dumb all the time. I need to remember this for future dumb moments. Love your content.
