As humans, we, sometimes, need help to help get things done and be appreciated for doing things. However, we are also sensitive and intelligent beings capable of seeing when we are being taken advantage of even while being supposedly appreciated for it.

We feel this way because some might use the opportunity to ask for help on an almost consistent basis with entitlement sentiments. Because of this, it depletes the strong effect of it and makes it look ordinary and even annoying.
