Whats your view on asking for help and others asking for help?

I personally have a really hard time asking for help. I hate asking for help and even when something is offered to me without me asking I never take it. Even if I desperately need something I will try and do it myself before I ask someone to do it for me.

But I know so many people who continuously ask for help. They will ask for help before they even try to solve the problem themselves. Most of the time these people are the most unappreciative people and seem to act much younger than their age.

How do you feel about asking for help/those who ask for too much help?

In your experiences are the people who ask for too much the most unappreciative people?

Do you think helping too much hinders a persons development?
