This isn't always a dead giveaway for abuse. I was brought up in a very loving home, but after I moved out, I lived on my own for most of my life. I learned to do things for myself, because there was nobody else there to help me. Projects that are typically a "two person job" are done alone, with me figuring out how to hold it in place while I drive the screw in, or with an extra clamp, etc. Need to lift a heavy box to the second floor? I'll figure out a way to get it upstairs on my own.
I have the "I can do it myself" attitude with many things, even if I have someone there now. It's hard to re-train myself to ask for help, because I feel like I am inconveniencing the other person, and on top of that, I have social anxiety.
