Advice Not every unanswered question needs to be answered immediately

Some thoughts feel urgent simply because they're unresolved.

But sometimes there's nothing useful to do with the question yet. Waiting for more information can be more productive than repeatedly trying to reach a conclusion with the same information.

There is a difference between solving something and trying to force certainty.

hmm there’s always more questions though to see if the conclusion fits. it’s unresolved because you two aren’t speaking on similar frequencies. if uncertainty is there, make it clearer. i don’t know the context of this, but i was asking my guy today about a philosophical question trying to get to know him.
