How to use "Maybe" in context?
"maybe" is a word that can be used in both positive and negative ways. For example, you might say something like "maybe we can go out on a date" in order to try and make a new relationship, or "maybe I'm just overthinking this" in order to not worry about something. On the other hand, you might use "maybe" when you don't want to commit to something, or when you don't want to admit to yourself that you might be wrong.
The use of "maybe" can be frustrating because it can lead to a lot of wasted time and energy.
