(Those who are too proud to worship Me), they are too arrogant to turn to Me in hope, as the Prophet (ﷺ) Said: "Allah is angry with the person who does not ask Him." As for this Hadith: "Verily, supplication is worship," it means that supplication and turning to Allah in hope is the worship, as supplication is a sign of showing the person's need and humbleness to Allah. Ibn Juzay: 2/284.
Question: Given this verse, how do you infer that supplication is worship?

Sufyan Al-Thawri used to say: "O You Who love most those who ask of You, and O You Who hate most those who do not ask of You, and there is no one like that apart from You, O Lord." Similarly; the poet said: Allah hates not to be asked, and the son of Adam hates to be asked. Ibn Kathir: 4/87.
Question: Compare between asking Allah and asking people.
