As an American woman, I'm prone to being wary of kindness because a lot of people feel something is owed back to them, and it's often sexual (men) or monetary (women). Personally, I'd rather do things myself than have this 'unspoken favor' I'm supposed to return, especially because people usually want back more than they give.
If we lived in a society where people could simply do what they can when they can and that was enough, I would accept help. Unfortunately, that's not the case. We're all supposed to be able to depend on each other -we're built for that- but we can't..
Why do some girls resist help? Confused.
