Have you over been too proud to ask a question, even if it affects your productivity?

Today, I was reading a support request on a public forum.
The poster asked a question about a technical issue and explained the problem they were experiencing. I was experiencing the same thing, which is how I found it.
A community member responded and suggested a solution.
To this, the original poster responded:
> Not too proud to ask where I [make the change].
The response to this was what caught my attention:
> No problem. Don't let pride get in the way of productivity.
## Here's the thing
Don't be afraid to ask questions or say you don't know or understand something.
No one knows everything, and there's no such thing as a stupid question.
