I sometimes do, because I don't want to have any debt of gratitude to that person. Sometimes don't, especially if I don't have anyone to ask for help.
If you do refuse help from other people, what are your reasons?

Yes, actually i do refuse at times where i need to think if i should be accepting help from this person. even in need, people still has pride and for me, i think it is what keeps me from asking help from people - i always try to work for myself and try to make sure i get no one's help for as long as i can still make things work out for me.

Usually i don't refuse to help. I try my best level to help them. But yes very rare i refuse to help people. That because the reason they show me to help it's not good things to help them. Or when they ask me to something bad then i refuse.
Otherwise i try my best to help them.

I have always been refusing help from my boyfriend because I do not like him offering me help when I can be providing it myself so even in matters of money I prefer to ask my parents first than him, I feel strange though I am with him for more that four years.

Very rarely do I get offers to help me, but when someone does help me, especially at work, I don't refuse them. But in personal problems I refuse help because I feel that he or she couldn't help me anyway so I prefer to solve it myself. In my side, whenever I learned that any of my friends need help, I usually ask if I could help. I don't know why I refuse their help in my side.

I refuse help if I did not ask for it. Sometimes, there are people who offer unsolicited help. They think that they know something that could make things for you a lot easier. But I appreciate it when people show concern by asking me if I need help. There are also people who just want to meddle with your life and are not really concern about you. But if you would refuse the help being offered, we should tell them in a very polite manner.

Yes, i don't just accept help from anyone. I believe that there's always consequences. Not everything comes for free nowadays. I try to find out first what's in it for him then i try to think of hidden motives he might have. I don't just rush in for free help.

i refuse help sometimes because i want to learn how to do things by myself. and also i want to try new things, and it also helps in boosting my confidence to myself, and also if i know what i am doing, i wouldnt really need help if that is the case, but i would always say thanks for the concern.

It depends on my mood, like if the person is asking for help on a very very easy job or task that even one person can manage, then il say to him that you can help yourself since that task is very simple. I also want them to learn to help themselves because not all the time that there are people who are willing or ready to help them, If i can feel or sense that the task really is hard for him or her alone, then im willing to lend a hand.
