I thought of how I might delay her trip home by taking too long to scrape the snow off my car,

She offered. Her getting home clearly wasn't a priority for her.
And if you were really taking too long, she could have helped and shown you how to do it efficiently.

I thought about how I could have broken it during my clumsy usage of the instrument.

They're usually made out of a thick plastic or metal. Good luck breaking it.

I thought of how I always have a problem accepting help from others, in addition to compliments and praise. I thought of how accepting help makes me feel like a failure and an inferior, no matter how much I need the help.

So, I completely get this train of thought as I often have the same thoughts. But if someone is offering help, it's okay to take it. They're offering. You're not holding them at gun point.
