I also had the problem of not wanting to ask questions and look stupid, and my manager told me to ask the questions I need to get the task done. Very simple and effective.
Also, instead of re-writing things in solitary many times over it would be a lot more effective to write something pretty good (In your eyes) and then ask for feedback on it. That way you can either validate that you're doing a good job, or start to learn what "good" looks like.

my concern with junior engineers is when they ask no questions (they have weird hang ups or they’re completely off the rails) or ask the same questions over and over (didnt admit they didn’t understand the first answer, or they’re not writing things down).
any number of distinct questions is generally fine.
