I don't need help. vs I don't need any help.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I don't need help' is a more direct and concise way of expressing that assistance is not required. On the other hand, 'I don't need any help' emphasizes the absence of a need for any kind of assistance. The choice between the two depends on the level of emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
