I'm somewhat of a slow learner, and one of the main reasons I would rarely ask for help was because people are not as helpful as they think they are. Most of the time it's a lazy attempt to answer questions at the surface level only, and attempting to follow up with further question ends in frustration quickly. People think they're helpful but in fact have small amounts of patience generally speaking. This was obvious when I was student of really good teachers who made sure to answer literally any question without judgement.
Unless you're asking someone who has great confidence in their knowledge, asking a question can lead to an unpleasant situation. I've always scratched my head at this, since to me it's no problem to admit ignorance, but I've come to learn this isn't the case for most people, especially in front of others (i.e. a meeting).
IMHO, getting others to ask more questions starts by allowing others to ask you anything without thinking it has multiple layers of meaning and/or intention.
