If I ask a question in school/work about something I’m not sure about, will I be considered incompetent at doing the task?

I would rather look dumb for 20 seconds asking right away instead of spending hours fixing the mistake later.

Yes. You should NEVER ask questions in school. If you don’t already know everything why are you even there?

not necessarily. everyone should be able to ask questions but if you’re consistently not able to do basic fundamental skills of the job i might eventually start to question your competence. it would take kind of a lot to get to that point though

Definitely depends on work environment, a healthy one will encourage questions not view you negatively for them, but these days work is work so its understandable that a lot of people arent in healthy work environments
