Why do so many people have to depend on another? Most seem to depend on their boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or a family member. I’ve never understood why some people are just so incapable of being able to be independent. That they can’t go down to the mp and eat a good lunch, while sitting alone. Have you ever noticed how uncomfortable some people are when they are alone? Or girls going in groups with each other to the bathroom? Seriously, can’t you go alone. I find it very odd that some girls do that, unless of course if it would be unsafe to go alone. Or those who can’t spend more than a day away from their boyfriend or girlfriend. I believe that this is such a problem. Especially, if you lose that person that you’re dependent on.
I think its such a good feeling to know that I am independent and that my boyfriend respects this about me. That I need my own time by myself, that I would hate it if he or anyone else just followed me around or constantly called me. I think everyone should become more independent, I think it makes you a stronger person.

I completely understand where you are coming from on the boyfriend/girlfreind part. My ex-boyfriend was so annoying in that way, he always had to be around me and I couldn’t stand it. I disagree with you on the other part, though. I can’t stand being alone most of the time. I’m one of those people who hates eating alone, and I would never go to the movie theater or anything like that alone. You can call me needy, or pathetic, or whatever; but it’s who I am and I can’t help it. I enjoy being alone sometimes, like when I’m just sitting in my room reading or going for a walk to clear my head. The thing is, I’m a huge people person and I love being around people.
I agree with you 100% about the boyfriend/girlfriend stuff. It is so annoying when they won’t let you have your own space. It’s just nice to be alone sometimes. As for the girls going to the bathroom together? I don’t understand that at all. I think it is a bit strange. It sure does seem that our generation has become increasingly dependent on other people. I think we definitely need to break free and be ourselves. We will never know who we really are unless we take time to know ourselves.
