    Fake stupidity or ignorance, just a little. Otherwise, you risk getting people on their defensive sides (e.g., doctors, lawyers, architects).

      I learned way too late in life that no one likes a know it all. Pretending you don’t know stuff makes people more willing to help you.

        I gave up telling stuff to my co-workers. 90% of the time I’m actually dumb, so people now expect me to ALWAYS be wrong. So I made a habbit of just watching co-workers struggle when I know the solution.
