I'm a lot like that myself. With my personality type, it's known that people like me do not like asking for help from anyone. I do ask for help for emotional matters at times but not for physical things, like repairs. I especially hate to ask for help at where I live for things I think I can do myself. It makes me feel weak plus having to have a stranger come into my apartment. I've asked for help before and it was helpful and nice, but I prefer not to do it.
