Tickly1, I am not sure you realize how discouraging your messages come across. OP is asking this sub in order to get help, not feel made fun of or looked down upon. I know you are sharing your honest reaction, but do you see how your reaction comes across as quite condescending? Sometimes “being brutally honest” is just being “brutal.” Not all of us learned all skills, and it should always be ok to ask :) there are many reasons why someone hasn’t learned a skill like sewing! For example I only learned to cook and sew in my 20s, because my parents tried their best but they had to work multiple jobs to pay all the bills, and often they just weren’t home or when they were, they were just too exhausted to teach skills like this. I learned other skills instead during my younger years, and I could help others with those when I was older. Consider being mindful that if someone is asking for help, they are being brave :) not knowing something and asking for help is always ok and shouldn’t be discouraged with judgement :) I hope you have a lovely day in any case! ❤️
