Would I be right in assuming it's the old "I don't need no help! I don't need no crutch!" argument? Despite the fact that a crutch, literally and metaphorically, is there to take the weight off what hurts, what's bothering you.

I've met more than a few people like that, including some who would rather make their situation irreparably worse in order to prove to the world that they "don't need no crutch."

I'm with Tart Cherry Jam. It's frustrating, infuriating and befuddling in equal measure!
