Is it better to just keep my mouth shut?

[PiedPiper]

Giving some insight, say one has a very pressing question they cannot not rid their mind of, which could not merely be debated with a google search. Assume this question may come across as completely ridiculous and incomprehensible. This disarray is partly due to a severe lack of confidence by the questioner, thus leading to incompleteness and an inability to get across what one actually means. Is it wiser to not ask, or risk sounding like a complete idiot at the expense of possibly settling the argument/thought?
(yes, I realize that this is partially what this website is dedicated to, responding to and debating idiosyncratic questions. Still, in your opinion, is it worth the risk?)

If not ban worthy then why this would matter?

Gennerally it's difficult to predict cause people value/ are repulsed by different things. So maybe give a hint? Depending on specific ppl could display superiority, ridicule, judgeing you as sheltered, as cunt. And many others? Or not at all...like 0 fucks.

I think some may be generous and walk formulation of what you mean by helping precise it. Tho no guarantee. Idk you may be just talked behind your back in the bad but not worst scenario.

Only you know if you are ready.

I advise silence when among people very unlike you, but when among open minded humans, always speak your mind.

Silence is very useful to assess a situation objectively before becoming emotionally involved.

"The whole function of thought is to produce habits of action; and that whatever there is connected with a thought, but irrelevant to its purpose, is an accretion to it, but no part of it." (Pierce) - One of the proponents of Pragmatism.

The first step in realizing a thought is to attempt to put it in words and secondly, coherently derive the sensible aspects of it. When you succeed in the two, sharing it makes sense. Disarrayed thoughts will always garner opinions that you will not like.
