Why do I always hide myself away from people who want to help?

Because your scared of letting people in. Your scared that when you tell them they are going to walk away.

Sometimes folks are truly afraid of burdening the people who are lending a hand with their troubles.

Sometimes, people do so because they fear they can't be helped and they'd rather stay hopeful that someone can help instead of be disappointed by someone who may not be able to. The second action is taken, you have to abandon your ideals of how help may look, and sometimes we're scared of disappointment due to help not living up to social ideals.

Many people hide from the people who can help because they are scared that they can't actually help them. It's a perfectly normal feeling. Sometimes you just have to push through and force yourself to go see someone who can help you.

Because you don't want to appear weak and vulnerable in front of them by taking help. You are afraid of being able to live up to their expectation that you will help them back later.

You might subconsciously feel like you're a burden on others or that you can't fully trust people to help you.

It can be embarrassing to be in a situation to need help. What most people who need assistance fail to realize is that by allowing themselves to be helped they are blessing others by allowing them to use the gifts and means they may want to share with others. By denying someone the chance to help you they may not be blessed for the service they may be able to give to you. In some instances someone who wants to help is probably paying forward something that had been done for them. Give them that opportunity.

You like to keep everything bottled up inside of you, you're most likely afraid to tell people your problems and then they wont care. That's not a good thing. Opening up to people, telling people your problems can really help. Sometimes its hard to open up because you think the person trying to help might think your problems are stupid, or not care, maybe even laugh at you. In reality, people want to listen, they want to help you, they care about you and you're problems, you're just overthinking the situation. Opening up to someone that cares can make you feel ten times better than you were feeling before.
