Ask your questions right away instead of staying silent to avoid looking foolish. Confident people request clarification early, get the answers they need, and others see them as more confident, not less.

Ask your questions right away instead of staying silent to avoid looking foolish. Confident people request clarification early, get the answers they need, and others see them as more confident, not less.
This is confidence tip number 111. When you arrive at a new place like a workplace, and you're not sure what's going on, you have questions that you need to ask, ask them early. A confident person will say, can you please explain this? Or what is this? Or where is that? But a person who lacks a bit of confidence will often not want to look silly. And so they don't ask their questions. But the problem is they need to know the answers. And so a confident person will always ask their questions early. Don't wait. When you ask early, people will simply answer your questions. If you leave it, they'll wonder, well, why didn't you ask that before? And so the trick is, ask questions early.
