In general, people are drawn to people who appear to need help because they want to feel like a nice person, and nearly everyone wants to feel needed. For some, it is a type of control, since if you help another person, you can control how the job is done, and you can gloat how helping with your way is so much better than anything that other person could ever think up on their own.
At a deeper level -Codependency
To a degree, people need other people to live. The problem comes when some folks are needier than others due to bad choices and immaturity. Constantly "helping" such folks only hurts them and keeps them trapped in their immaturity, ignorance, addiction, etc. Being addicted to helping those who don't want to be helped or cannot be helped is called codependency. Codependency is a major reason folks attend Al Anon, Codependents Anonymous, and Emotions Anonymous.
Codependency is often caused by how one is raised. You may have lived around parents who drank, gambled, or had explosive anger. That led to problems for the entire family. So at some point, you refused to think of yourself as a child, but as another adult in that household. You may taken some of the blame or responsibility for things being as bad as they are. So you ended up being "little mommy" or "little daddy." However, while that helped immediate survival, you limited yourself by doing so. You didn't get to mature properly as you've become enmeshed with others who cannot be helped. As a grownup, you may feel you still have parts of yourself missing. You might seek to fill that with service and helping others, even when doing so will harm them, since it really isn't about them, but about you feeling a certain way, even if it is at their expense.

Why do people expect you to take care of yourself and not help you when you are an adult?
That is the normal experience, depending on your culture and upbringing. The purpose of childhood is to become independent and to learn all the skills you need and to learn to make it on your own so you won't need others outside of your own family and those you hire to help. Now there are maladjusted adults who try to force help on others or who feed off of other maladjusted adults and try to keep them needy and dependent. It is amusing is when people of one group go to a place ran by people of another group who don't believe in helping others unless they ask, and then suing them and claiming it is discrimination. To make it more amusing is when people of the other group might sue for harassment over excessive help if the roles were reversed.
