Similarly, teaching someone how to do something (that of course I taught myself, as my preferred means of knowledge attainment) is 10x more difficult that doing that something. The frequent lack of desire for people to experiment and learn anything on their own is very off-putting. Of course this makes me curmudgeon.
I don’t understand how someone can look at things and go "yeah no need to look any deeper, I know enough already
I swear some people never grow out of the “I’m a big kid now!” mindset. Just like how little kids always seem to think <age they currently are> is the age where now they suddenly deserve respect, lots of adults go “well now I’m an adult, so that means I know everything. It’d be embarrassing if I didn’t!”
I am also extremely introverted but grew up playing team sports so while I am very much like you in that I taught myself and get frustrated when people don’t want to experiment on their own, I enjoy getting in the trenches with other people and hopefully teaching along the way as we do the thing together. Doesn’t work for all learning styles, though

Pride is a hell of a drug.
