RE: Sam’s Hangout #120 - “HYPER-INDEPENDENCE”

Independence is what we ought to see as a strength because it’s a testament to an individual’s commitment to become responsible for themselves. But hyper-independence? No! That is the extreme and should never be glorified like people do.

Besides, there’s no single hyper-dependent person who doesn’t have a back story. From poverty to being constantly dismissed by parents who had the means to being traumatized for simply asking for help from a guardian or blossom friend who cared less or being affected by their environment they grew up in and the stories they heard. It’s a long list. I hope we continue to recognize these patterns and make efforts to change them in the best possible way we can.
