Getting lost is not hard. Admitting that you are, or you need some assistance, sometimes is!
I've always found ATC more than helpful in most situations. Whether you want vectors on a dark rainy night, or just a position confirmation. Ususally nothing is to much trouble.
If you do get lost, then ask for help from someone. Don't let the situation get worse!
Remember;
If you work on a ship, look after your cook.
A small base, the engineer,
and if you going to fly, then be nice to your ATC, you never know when you might need them.
