I recently started at new employer and have been the beneficiary of co-workers who are more than willing to go above and beyond, to sit with me and answer question about what I'm trying to figure out as well as showing me tips and giving suggestions.
A big part of it is their positive attitude. I'm never left feeling inferior for having asked a question.

This is absolutely amazing, and I'm really glad that you have such fantastic colleagues.

I know that, early in my career, I found that colleagues who weren't willing to share tended to foster an environment of elitism and it really fuelled my impostor syndrome. "Clearly they'd be willing to help me out, if I was meant to be here!" and similar thoughts would repeat on a daily basis.

But it sounds like the culture surrounding your colleagues wouldn't allow for that to happen.
