I have never asked on StackOverflow, but it did happen to me on Discord. I was already about a year into my programming journey, but I remember asking a question and immediately get insulted because I tried to do something the wrong way and apparently should have known the right way.
Nowadays, I'm way more cautious with asking questions. And I always do my very best to figure it out myself first, and many times I am able to solve it myself as well.
I always tell people to not be afraid to ask questions, but I dislike asking questions myself. Though, I have gotten better at asking. I still aim to only ask after having tried myself, so I am able to have a proper discussion and talk about what didn't work and such, or be able to explain what part I'm confused about.

Though, what this bad experience has lead me to is helping others in a friendly manner. I want to be the person they can ask for help.
