If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself 😭

Hi fellow ISTJs. Ever feel like you literally can't get help from anybody?

For one, if I actually figure out what needs to be done, it's faster for me to just do it rather than figure out how to delegate it to someone else.

Also, when people do decide to help me in their own way, it often feels like one step forward and two steps back. Like, by helping, they create a new mess that I need to clean up or suffer the consequences of.

Do you guys have any experience getting better at dealing with this issue? I worry I'm just gonna be bad at getting help forever because my bad Ne can't see ahead enough to manage chaotic people.
