<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I'm serious in asking this. I realize it seems like a stupid question, but something I've noticed in society and interpersonal relationships is that if you need help or present yourself as desperate or "weak", people really want nothing to do with you. Why, though? 

I mean, when my friends have needed someone to talk to or help through difficult times, I've been there, supported them, etc. But when I've had difficult times, really bad fucking times, I am accused by them of giving them too much drama to deal with, and they basically stop being my friend after awhile. 

Same thing with relationships. As long as you're strong, hold your own, support the other person, you're fine, but the minute you look like "you haven't got your shit together", the other person is ready to bolt. 
And in searching for jobs, if we're honest and just say, I am desperate for work...people don't want to hire you. So you have to put up a front and basically act like you're self-reliant no matter what. 

I guess what I'm wondering is, why is it so admired by society to be self-reliant and not need anyone else's help or support...when all of us clearly do need one another to thrive as human beings...
It's a stupid question ultimately, but I still can't understand why. I was raised a spoiled only child, and that probably has something to do with it. I was rewarded anytime I asked or begged for something, and then I realized the rest of the world doesn't work that way.
<bot>: I think by making ourselves appear self-reliant and not needing anything from others so as not to be "weak", we limit our honest interactions with one another and our ability to support each other.
