* {{Subverted|Trope}} on ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''--when [[SadClown Amethyst]] realizes that she's a "defective" Quartz, she's convinced that she has to defeat [[TheBrute Jasper]], the "[[BornWinner Ultimate Quartz Warrior]]," alone in order to prove her worth. However, [[CurbStompBattle Jasper really IS far stronger than Amethyst]]. Eventually, [[TheHeart Steven]] snaps her out of this, and they fight her with ThePowerOfFriendship [[spoiler:[[WrongContextMagic by fusing]]]].

* In ''FanFic/MaidenlessNoLonger'', after sparing Malenia, the Tarnished and Millicent merely follow her as she goes on a RoaringRampageOfRescue towards Miquella, slaughtering Mohg's minions before confronting the Luminary himself in a very satisfying CurbStompBattle. Millicent wordlessly asks if they're just going to spectate, but the Tarnished just as wordlessly keeps her back.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' played on this, with Hot Rod and Kup arriving in time to help Optimus Prime against Megatron, but Hot Rod's attempt to help actually made the situation worse. A comic book released decades later pulled this trope as part of a ForWantOfANail idea. [[spoiler:Optimus handily kills Megatron.]]

* This is how some people deal with trauma or other rough patches in life. Rather than seeking out the help they shun it instead out of a need to be self-sufficient.

* This is how some people deal with trauma or other rough patches in life. Rather than seeking out the help they shun it instead out of a need to be self-sufficient. Unfortunately, this is prone to frequently backfiring horribly and making things worse for the person because they refuse to reach out when they genuinely need someone's help.

* Played with in ''VideoGame/{{Siren}}''. Shiro nearly quotes the trope verbatim as he [[spoiler:goes to finish off the Onda sisters]]. However, by this point, he has [[spoiler:murdered his twin brother and assumed his identity]], making the whole 'Things you have to do for yourself' bit a little ironic...
