What's wrong with "self-denial while helping others-in-need" as an ethic? For me it feels like almost a matter of honor...

I've expected others to freely offer up their help in the same fashion.

If you give help in reaction to requests, but then don't make requests, how are people supposed to do this? I honestly don't have time or energy to go poll my friends daily/weekly to see if they need anything from me. My most common statement to friends in need is "if you need me, contact me." I have to hand it back to them as an open door.

That's true... it means that unless my friends notice that I'm in trouble and volunteer to help, I fend for myself.
