From what little we have to go on this seems to be the culprit. While workplaces may seem like a microcosm of polite society there are 'rules'. One of which is 'do your own work'. If someone offers to do something because it just happens to be convenient for them that is one thing. Appearing friendly in an attempt to manipulate others to take on your responsibilities may not be your intention but it is what 90% of people are wary of at work. Be friendly, but do not ask for help until you are good friends and play the tit-for-tat game shrewdly.
