stupid is as stupid does

even though i'm afraid to ask questions for fear of looking stupid and i
figure that i'll be able to figure it out for myself eventually, i
invariably head down the wrong path, make a stupid mistake, or jump to a
conclusion that doesn't follow and thus look stupid anyway when i have
to ask for help after spinning my wheels for a while.
what's really frustrating and depressing is that i know that i am
capable of intelligent, coherent, rational thought and yet i continue to
allow myself to be distracted, intimidated, or just plain lazy to the
point where i am no longer sure that i am capable of being intelligent.
