Them: Can you help me with this thing?
Me: Sure
*later*
Me: Hey, I did that thing.
Them: Awesome! You must have done stuff like this a bunch.
Me: No.
Them: Then how-
Me: I agreed to help, and the anxiety of looking incompetent forced me to become proficient.
Them: How did you learn-
Me: I spent the first 10 minutes panicking and then went to Wikipedia and read everything I could ok the subject then I tried to recreate it on my own, failed, then reread wikipedia and just winged it the rest of the way.
Them: Wow. That's amazing. You know, if you were a little more proactive and applied that same kind of dedication towards everything else in your life, you'd be unstoppable.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA. no
