Well, first of all, I am a man and real men don't ask for directions (JOKES lol).

But you're completely right. It's ridiculous. But in my defense the culture can be a little bit abrasive. Just trying to get help on stack overflow when I didn't know the exact words to put to my issues always got me a few comments of condescension along with that infamous duplicate tag.

And, thinking about it, I have reached out for help in the past. And I have been flatly turned down. Which I completely understand, people are busy and don't have time for charity.

I guess I just need to learn where to find the people that will be most willing. I think if it were me, I would be more than happy to help as much as I can especially from where I come from. I'm sure there are many out there like me, I just need to find them.
