People are afraid of being turned down and they're not comfortable with facing their own fears. Hence why they don't push themselves to achieve more and become comfortable in uncomfortable situations. It's so important to rely on other people in life, there are so many things people can't do on their own. Simply relying on yourself and locking yourself up in a bubble and doing easy things in life won't get you far. It's okay to ask questions and ask someone else for help when you're stuck, it's not a weakness but strength because you admit you're not all-knowing but you're willing to learn and grow daily.
