I'm a junior developer in senior developer's clothing and asking for help is one of the hardest things. That strong feeling of "I should be able to do this by now" often spirals out of control. "I'm stuck" --> "I should ask for help" --> "It's been a week and I've done nothing" --> "This feels so bad I'm just gonna futz around on the internet". It's a hell of a cycle.

Try to shift your perspective, asking for help when needed is a strength. It means you know your limits, that your not infalible. Asking for help is often the most productive thing you can do.

It always feels bad not getting anywhere or even worse having to scrap past work, but not checking with others wastests everybodies time. Other people are waiting on your results even if you never meet them. And if nobody is able to help you can either try to plow through or accept defeat.
