Self-help groups are people who encourage and remind one another that "you need to do it yourself to help yourself".
It is a human weakness to want others to do the work for you. Many learners here are lazy and just pose a question without saying what work they have done to try to answer the question. You, for example, in the past, had the habit of asking questions here without putting forward your own attempts for us to see. Now you have changed. You put forward your own attempts for us to correct.
Self-help does not mean "you don't need help from others". It means "you will be responsible for yourself and you will do your fair share of work to help yourself."
