<p>...since after all, it's difficult to determine how long you'd search for the answer by yourself, and asking questions is a sort of a security net.</p>
<p>and since the sooner you get the answer, the better (especially since the search process of the answer can involve sleeping and subconscious processing).</p>
<p>even though you feel horrible for annoying ppl when you find the answer by yourself and THEN someone answers a question you asked BEFORE you found the answer... and then you might even annoy ppl.</p>
<p>If I have a hard time finding the answer (i have to read thru a ton of stuff and I wasted 10-20 minutes and found nothing)or if I completely don’t understand something, then I post but I still keep trying to find it.</p>
