I don't know about other people, but for me, it gets tiring to ask for help all the time, and I'm not used to working with senior people. Programming in college was with groups of people as clueless or even more clueless than me, so asking for help was useless. And most of my programming I did on my own. I'm also not very good with people in general, or rather, after I spend "too much" time with someone I need some time alone to recharge my social batteries. It's also hard to know exactly what "not being sure" is. Does that mean 15 minutes without progress? An hour? Half a day? What if I'm still making progress, but slower than usual? Seniors love to say "ask for help if you're not sure" but I've never heard anyone properly defining what "not sure" is supposed to be. When I ask for clarification, some of the time people look at me like I'm an alien. I understand that managing people is hard, but I also find it hard to be managed when expectations aren't clear and are mostly a reflection of "I wish things were better".
