Not sure if anyone can relate to this. This is a recurring issue I frequently face ever since I started learning Japanese. I can't seem to get rid of my mindset that when I consume Japanese media, I have an obligation to understand EVERYTHING, from words and grammar in each sentence to tiny minute details in the story. As a consequence, if I encounter some unknown word or grammar in the story I am reading now and I can't resolve it by Google search or dictionary lookup, I tend to resolve this uncertainty as soon as possible by asking questions in the daily thread. The reason I frequently ask questions in daily thread is to help me to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling of not knowing everything. If I don't do that I will suddenly feel uneasy and unmotivated in continuing what I am reading. It is hard for me to enjoy anything in Japanese with this mindset. If I continue learning Japanese like that, I wonder if it is possible for me to reach the point where I can understand everything and stop asking questions.
