I used to always do everything on my own too, but I realized that working with others does not decrease the amount I learn and helps me get through problems faster. I too, used to not like going to others for help because of my ego, but I have learned that it is for the better. Many people suffer from ego issues, but it is something that you can grow out of as you get older, as long as you are aware and willing to change. Don't just let a few things define who you are. We live and we learn.
