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?

Asking for help feels like putting myself in a vulnerable position - what if I don’t get it? What if I am judged as lacking? What if I learn that I’m not worth helping? Seems risky.
My strat is to contrast this with how I regard people who openly ask (usually, positively).
