Is it okay to ask for help?

Ya know, I am one of those people who finds fun in figuring things out all by myself. I once had a friend who was told me , "you are trying to reinvent the wheel all over again. why not just use the wheels that are already there and invented. It is okay to just ask for help. You always do this "
So yeah, I do that all the time. I know it. I do it coz first of , It is more challenging for me to do it that way, It keeps me interested and then when i do it all over again from scratch on my own I am more sure that i could not have been done any better any other way.

Also, I am very bad at blindly taking orders.I always itch to check and counter check stuff. yeah, this holds true only for things to be done. With people, sometimes i trust the worst kind of people at the bat of an eyelid while other times I tire the trustworthy person out and out by constantly !

So, I am also one of those people that will drive over and over and walk over and over the same block without asking for directions and then eventually finding the place I was looking for. I have broken this behavioral pattern every once in a while to ask for directions and people have gotten so carried away with my so called "Pretty girl asking for directions" image and kept on staring me up and down and checking me out and giggling and eventually giving me all wrong directions.
I get tired with juvenile drooling assholes.So, I don't ask for directions anymore.

I just registered with twitter . Why? I wanted to find out the difference between tweet and twit this and twit that and what not .I wanted to check it all out by myself. And then , As soon as i registered, I kinda instinctively clicked on HELP. Me, Willingly and meekly just Clicking on 'Help' Instead of figuring out things myself-Which is How i usually figure out newer interent social networking site features. Well, I don't have much time on hands, I need to know it all in like 15 min, so yeah, I asked for Help..There ya go

Is it okay to ask for Help? Yes, it is , If you are damn sure You can save time and energy by asking for help.

Yes, it is okay to ask for help if you damn sure that you are perfectly incapable of figuring it out on your own. Ya know. first know your drawbacks and act accordingly.
My dad always tells me , Okay, sometimes tells me , " you never ask for help. Everyone asks for help , but you are Ms. do it all yourself. It doesn't work like that. You have to ask around "
hmmmmm...My take? " Well, A lot of people are clueless as I am . If i ask them for help, It is like the blind leading someone partially blind. Ya know . I am better off figuring things out myself , coz i am smart. "
Anyway, gotta go now.
