I admit I was one of those that avoided pullups/chinups for ages... It was just too difficult to do any more than a couple so I resorted to lat pull downs. That all changed a few years ago having got plenty of advice on the brilliance of the plain old pullup. I've kept working on them and if you keep at it your strength will build up and it gets better, but it takes time. From struggling to do 5 I managed to do the 25 needed for the original 300 workout you may have seen in an earlier post.
The best way to get you started is to have a spotter - someone to help you out. Have the spotter lift you up when you can't do any more and you come down by yourself. Gradually lessen your reliance on the spotter.
When you can go past 15-20 pullups you may want to do some variations. One of those variations I do these days is the pull up on suspension rings as you see me doing below.
So throw in some pullups at least twice a week into your workouts and reap the rewards.
