make myself available vs being available

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Make myself available" is used when someone actively makes themselves accessible or ready to help, while "being available" is used to describe the state of being accessible or ready to help without specifying an active effort. They are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes.
