When you're too scared to ask questions at your new job

I just landed my first developer job, and I spend half the day stuck because I'm too afraid to ask for help. I keep thinking that the moment I ask a 'dumb' question, they'll realize they hired the wrong person. So I sit there quietly Googling, falling further behind and feeling like a fraud.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're so afraid of looking incapable that you won't ask for the help you need.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
