Seeking guidance is tough for you right now, because you know you can do this on your own. But did you ever think that the act of asking is more valuable to the other person than yourself? Think about it: when people ask for your advice, it's flattering! By asking someone to help you out, you'll give them a huge thrill and put them in a great mood. You don't have to do what they say: in fact, this person probably doesn't even care if you do what they say.
