“Reading through everyone’s responses on this topic felt different. What stood out to me the most was chefqueen’s comment that hyper-independence is seldom a choice; life simply happens to leave people with no one to lean on. I have seen that pattern as well, people being labeled as ‘strong’ when really they just never had a safety net. Great hangout; I appreciate the space you guys have created for this kind of honest reflection.
