Be willing to help anyone when they need it.  You can be the nicest person in the world, but if you always refuse to help someone when they ask then it is going to look weird and people will assume that it is some social flaw.  On the same note, don’t feel obliged to always help people because at some point it will become expected and they will start taking advantage of you.  If someone isn’t returning the favor at some point then they probably aren’t worth going out of your way so often.  If you do turn them down, always say you are “busy” with other obligations.
