Being self-sufficient is great. But needing no one? That’s not strength, that’s survival mode in disguise.
Hyper-independence often forms when you’ve been hurt, disappointed, or neglected too many times. Somewhere along the way, you learned that asking for help wasn’t safe, and that needing others meant opening the door to being let down. So you did what you had to do, you learned to carry it all. Alone. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Hyper-independence may protect you from pain, but it also isolates you from connection.
