Should I do this together or alone?
The I Ching does not point at which is better, but at what there is to carry. Hexagram 45, Gathering, is about assembling around a genuine centre; without that centre, together becomes only crowding. A throw can show whether that centre exists in your question.
When should I seek connection?
Seeking connection makes sense when there is something to gather around. Hexagram 8, Union, shows water spreading across the earth and finding contact everywhere. A throw can show whether your situation allows for such contact.
What does cooperation ask for?
Cooperation asks first for a shared centre and only then for agreements. Hexagram 45, Gathering, shows that a group gains weight from what it stands around, not from its number. A throw can show what that centre would be in your case.
