This post is gold, specifically because you believe every assistance given to you deserves something in return. It's such a humane mindset and I'm so impressed about it. Even though you may not be able to fufill all as you would like, it's great that you think this way.

I also see myself being described in this post and the part that says people assume you have things figured out because you refuse to ask without an urgent need. I hope someday, such people understand us better.
