How do you cope with asking for help?

I have a hard time dealing with not being the smartest in the room or as smart as everyone in the room. As I have gotten older it has gotten harder and at times I feel intimidated and jealous of people who are smarter than me. I have a hard time asking for help as I feel that I am being judged negatively for not knowing. It has affected me professionally and personally. I feel I am totally inventing thoughts and feelings judgements from others.

Try this. This guy is known throughout the world as one of the best. If you have headphones, that would be good. He has helped thousands on my different subjects. He's really good. I've heard him.[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZAIt1asaVc]

Don't be intimidated by others. Just know your positive traits and know that they need your skills just as much as you need their expertise. 👍

Often, one of the smartest possible answers is "I don't know".

Dont worry so much and just learn.. ask for help when you need to learn.. then you will be smarter (or google it so you dont have to ask)

I read as much as I can. But I can't retain much. I just read over and over or make sticky notes that would help me remember facts and figures.

When at work - I usually just say "look, I have a really dumb question...it's my specialty"....try to make it self effacing!

I don’t care who judges me and what they think, I need help to get something done or get ahead, I don’t have time to worry stupid stuff like that.
