This is why I so frequently get overwhelmed at work. I would always rather do things that talk about doing things, so I just do the things, and end up owning everything
That's a big part of it for me, too. The other part is that I document things pretty thoroughly, but no one wants to read that. I'd much rather they read the docs I wrote and ask specific questions than expect me to just explain everything from scratch.
Similarly, teaching someone how to do something (that of course I taught myself, as my preferred means of knowledge attainment) is 10x more difficult that doing that something. The frequent lack of desire for people to experiment and learn anything on their own is very off-putting. Of course this makes me curmudgeon.
I am also extremely introverted but grew up playing team sports so while I am very much like you in that I taught myself and get frustrated when people don't want to experiment on their own, I enjoy getting in the trenches with other people and hopefully teaching along the way as we do the thing together. Doesn't work for all learning styles, though
