Quick comment. I think it is a good practice to always work in pairs
where one member is the primary person.
Attrition can then be handled since you have backup.
I have always been quite shy. But in my waning years I will never
resort to the 'work by myself in a corner' approach again.
I now say 'Hey, I need your help (for a while). I don't understand
this.' Much more friendly and open. 'Face saving' doesn't work.
