Twitter: I am terrible at asking for help! I never think to do it. And when I do, I dismiss it, thinking “ah, it’s so much overhead to involve others that it’s easier to just handle myself.” But I’m sure I’m not asking nearly enough.
Help me! What strategies do you have here?

Strategies for what? Asking for help?

Yes! I’m asking for help about asking for help! When do you do it; how do you get over your own objections; how do you choose whom to ask; what kind of asking-for-help seems most positive-sum; etc
I do it when I'm feeling stuck and I've tried out strategies with clear steps. Once I exhaust that I try to get specific about what question I have. Maybe the feedback you need is phrasing the q differently? Sometimes you just need to talk it out.

I‘d e.g. ask you for feedback on certain texts or ideas; and other people according to their specialties, as long the relationship supports that.
On Twitter I drop open questions to see what happens, but most of the time I don‘t have high hopes :)
