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?

One barrier for me is worrying about downside. Asking for help sometimes does end in morass—more noise than signal, more effort than going solo, excess social overhead. Any advice on choosing whom to ask or on crafting a request to avoid morass?
