One of my most valuable lessons, when I was a junior engineer, is asking questions. I was shy, quiet, and trying to carry the weight of the world on my shoulder. But I learned that building software is a community/team game. By asking a question and asking for opinions, I learned a lot from the feedback. Though I'm still shy and quiet (it's my personality and I can't simply get rid of it), now I know how to interact with people within my constraint. That fact doesn't block me from joining tech discussions on forums, asking for feedback or even giving a tech talk to my team.
