Same here. I'm always willing to help too, I just don't want to make other people mad since I know how it feels to have someone force you to let them help you. Even in an academic setting, like when I was in high school, it happened. I would be working and someone, usually a room para, would constantly bug me and kept trying to help me even though I didn't need it and was doing just fine. And now that I'm a para, I am very careful not to do that to the students I work with. I still do my job, I help out as expected and make myself available, but I don't force the students to allow me to help them if they don't want it or need it.
