I’m sorry if this seems dumb. I tend to take things literally and “mutual” and “exclusive” seem to be antonyms but mutually exclusive is a term used a lot and it confuses the crap out of me. I’m a native English speaker also.
Does it mean that the two things CAN exist together? I feel like my brain does gymnastics trying to understand the term; I’m not a dumb person but this term just totally eludes me!
Please don’t attack me, just trying to not feel stupid.

Both options are possible, but if you have one, you can’t have the other. Example: if you take the car to go from A to B, you can’t take the bus at the same time and vice versa.
You canhave blue eyes or brown eyes but you cant have both. Unless you got heterochromia but that’s exceptional
