of course they don't support what they don't understand

Why don’t people support what I’m doing?

Sometimes others are insecure. Sometimes when people don’t support what you’re doing, it may be more about them than you. It could be plain ignorance or even jealousy, but some people tend to attack things that are new to them. So again, don’t take their words to heart.

Is it possible to do what you want without support?

It’s natural to want support and encouragement from the people around you, but it is possible to do what you want to do without it. Just think of how many successful, inspiring people took the road less traveled.

What happens when you don't understand something?

Not understanding something can affect our confidence. It makes us feel insecure because we don’t understand what’s going on, or which steps we need to take. That is normal, but it’s good if you can try and come up with a plan before those thoughts get the chance to take root and make you miserable.

Do you expect support and encouragement from people you consider close to?

I know how disheartening that can be. You expect support and encouragement from people you consider close to you only to be completely rejected, criticized, or worse, laughed at. It can be really hard to swallow all the “noise” around you.

6 Human qualities of a person that fears of not understanding

Here are 6 human qualities which can determine that a person fears of not understanding:

5 Ways to overcome fear of not understanding

The simplest way to overcome fear of not understanding is to enlighten yourself about your fear. Try to answer to these questions by using science:

Final Words From Delightful Mindset

It’s totally understandable that people fear what they don’t understand. However, in some cases that may result as missing out on something significant that could impact your life positively.

Seymour Papert and Knowledge Construction

Let’s begin with a frank discussion of how you currently imagine that learning occurs. If you’re anything like me, you probably think something along these lines:

Two Solutions

Papert’s theory gives us a firmer foundation to build on. If knowledge is constructed from what the learner currently knows, then the teacher’s job isn’t to transmit knowledge! It is instead to guide the construction of knowledge from what the learner currently knows.

1. Sometimes reading it again will help

Sometimes it really is that simple. The information doesn’t all find its way into your brain the first time, and you need to read it through a couple of times so that you can really focus on the words and understand what they mean. Often taking notes helps too, because if you write something in your own words, it’s easier for you to remember it.

2. Ask questions

I will always do my best to explain things to students, but it helps if I know when they haven’t understood something. Sometimes as teachers we know when people aren’t following what we’re saying, but we’re only human and not mind-readers. How you ask will depend on what you’re learning, how big the group is, or how confident you feel.

3. Figure out the best time for you to learn

I mean the best time for you to study on your own. Are you a night owl or an early morning lark? Asking me to use my brain before about the third cup of coffee rarely ends well! I can manage simple admin tasks, but anything that is really hard is better left till later in the day when I’m more awake and focussed. You may have the opposite problem.

4. Take good notes

I’m not going to tell you how to take good notes – it’s different for everyone. But whatever you do, it needs to be meaningful for you.

5. Ask someone who knows the answer

This is what I ended up doing a couple of times during my course. I’m lucky because my partner understands the material that I am studying, and sometimes he explains things better than the book. His explanations are more logical – to me anyway – and he approaches things in a different way. It’s the same material.
