As a society, we should be ashamed of ourselves for creating an environment to encourage and enable excessive co-dependence. It's not that people shouldn't be helped or that we should be left entirely on their own, but we should be able to grow into adults who can at least act in ways where we learn to do things for ourselves or ask people in appropriate ways.

Demanding that someone do something for you is inappropriate. It's not difficult to ask for help where it is needed.

Expecting that someone else will take over the responsibility of solving your problem for you so that you don't have to worry about anything is inappropriate. You should know that you're involved in solving your personal problems, rather than waiting around for them to be solved for you.

And cishet men do this so often. More often, in my experience, than anyone else.
