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?

Maybe we should do more unsolicited help, in that case the helping has already been done and there is no complaint possible :p

Also perhaps: Deep down you think you are so good that any help won´t be as good for the final result if you did it yourself? (i.e. a corollary of perfectionism).
This does happen to me :_)
The only prophyllactic is to deeply internalize the idea of comparative advantage.

Yes, this is sometimes the problem. I don't appropriately time discount this.
