Hi Barry,
Great article! While introverts are more likely to try and figure out things on their own, being hesitant to ask people for things may be an indicator of social anxiety. It can be difficult to delineate what's introversion and what's actually social anxiety. It's important to self-reflect on this and/or ask a therapist for their insights.
As a fellow introvert, I've had things I thought were just my introversion but were actually social anxiety.
