This describes glimpses of a "state", not a process. To feel "safe" asking dumb questions, you have to accept that the answer is often an irritated "RTFM". Accept first that the worst outcome is being ignored or sneered at, then you won't be so fearful. Beginners who ask questions usually want affirmation and some sort of "experience of being a peer" or something like it. The safe environment that people think others are responsible for, is mostly internal in my experience.
