I'm a pretty handy guy and always willing to help a neighbor/relative. But I'm loathe to ask for any help myself. I'll try to do a job myself until I can't figure any other way to do it alone. Usually my wife gets called on to help and if she's not around, then I'll go to a neighbor. This is for the quick "can you give me a hand" jobs that take 5 minutes or less. I've never asked for any help on a bigger project (addition, roof, basement remodel, major vehicle repair). I guess I just don't want to be "beholden" to anyone, like I owe them something in return and I also don't want to burden anyone since I know their time is precious to them.
Times are just different. When I was dating my wife and saw my future FIL working on a car, I'd jump right in, hand him wrenches, just stand around in case he needed help. Daughter's boyfriend will sit on the couch watching TV on his laptop while I work on a car or did a bathroom remodel, never once ask if I need a hand. Don't think less of him for that, though. Don't think he helps HIS dad much either.
