I feel like I don’t know how to think. In fact, I feel like I’ve never really thought deeply before in my life.

I always try to prepare for things, but if a question comes up that I haven’t prepared for, I just go blank and have nothing to say. I also feel like I don’t have opinions of my own because of this.

Whenever there is something I don’t know, I immediately start reading about it instead of trying to think through it myself first. Because of this, I also usually don’t have many questions when I’m learning a new topic.

How do I learn to think for myself?
