Are you independent or are you dependent? Do you like being this way? Is it good or bad to be dependent or independent? What are some pros and cons?

[Uptowngirl88]

-I'm very independent
-I dont like relying on others because others can disappoint you when they don't or just can't follow through.
- I love being independent because I've always been able to get everything I've wanted , when I've wanted it , and never had to wait on others

I am Independent

I am Dependant

Very independent, relying on others makes you a slave to their power and control. They can blackmail you for things you may not want to actually do, then call it freedom of choice. You can still chose not to but the consequences are dire.

I know someone who is dependent on the government and I laugh at her, cause she will literally say, she is independent but the government needs to stay out of how she spends her government money, just give her the money and let her make her own choices.

Like uh, that isn't independent.

independent. Traumatic childhood and then further to have traumatic events in the workplace forced me into adopting hyper independence. Working on it now but taking it a day at a time.

Hahaha, yeah, there is nothing like making your own choices, spending your own money and getting whatever you want without requiring anybodies approval or permission or having to tell someone. And the cherry on the top is watching others having a personal problem with that and throwing a fit 😁😂

I see it. I like it. I want it. I got it. Yay!

Being a slave/puppet/dependent sucks! Nothing beats being autonomous.

[Jadethedream]

Yeah do get what you mean thing my partner going though a similar thing lol

[boggboss]

It really depends on the situation indepedent people can tend to be good at getting things done but equally good at pushing people away whilst dependent people can have better people skills and thats the environment they enjoy but not be as forward thinking for themself

[anton_dee]

I have seen both sides and by my experience independent is waaaay better...

Your happiness or destiny of life is not dependent on anyone. You are the sole artist of your future.

Take opinions from others but decision should be yours alone...

[NathanDavis]

I'm independent... till my car is broken or the pipes in the house are broken... then I need someone to come fix it, lol

[DizzyDesii]

Half and Half. I dont like to drive or cook so I let others take care of that, but i know enough in case of emergency. So im dependent in that sense. But I’m independent for everything else

[Phoenix98]

Independent.

i but my own food, pay my own bills, etc I do everything for the most part on my own.

though I have a dependable support network with my family when I do need one.

[KatieB713]

I prefer being independent which mean that I don't need to rely on others, however it is nice that I can if I wanted to at times

[GenaBaby1995]

Very independent until I find a strong man. But, submissive in a relationship. I like being taken care off 😌 🙂

[Sincerly_KittyCat]

I am interdependent, and i like it like that as it makes me happy.

[MrtoddsWildRide]

I like that nobody tells me what to do. I hate that if I mess something up, there is no real support.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I like to be independent and do my own thing and take care of my own shit LMFAO

[zagor]

In modern terms I'm independent. But I don't kill my own food and I've never built a house from scratch so in traditional terms I'm dependent.

[IsoUser]

I am very independent though am lonely at times but I have hands free toys at times

[lovedejj_xo]

Very independent…. I solo travel Im just content with learning about myself

[DizzyDesii]

I loopove solo traveling. Family and friends hold you up or wanna go on their time and i’m too bossy for that shit. I’ll travel anywhere in the USA or Canada alone. But if i go to AU, i def need a partner lol

[Uptowngirl88]

Absolutely love solo travel. I went on a cruise NY to Bermuda loved it. Once things clear up I plan to do another solo cruise

[DizzyDesii]

Oh nahh i wouldn't do a cruise alone

[Uptowngirl88]

It's so much fun so many activities. I had went with family the very first cruise to Mexico so I missed the activities because all we did was party all night, hit the casino in the ship, bars and night clubs within the ship. This time I got to go to the comedy club, yoga , art, and dance class. Also the captains ball.

[Uptowngirl88]

The captain was hot. Also did a photoshoot

[zeitgeist057]

@Uptowngirl88 so you're a fan of the captain's balls, hmmm?

[Uptowngirl88]

I will say I enjoyed my first experience bc I missed it first cruise. I actually missed everything first cruise. But yes I enjoyed dressing up, the dance and the food at the captain ball

[Uptowngirl88]

I would love to be a cruise ship nurse🤣. Get Paid to be on a cruise ship is nice to me

[Uptowngirl88]

You mentioned going into nursing before. What specialty?

[Anonymous]

I used to be very dependent before a girl I was attached to rejected me. After her, I realized what is wrong and became independent. It surely wasn't good but at least I learned my lesson.

[crmoore]

I'm independent but I don't view dependence as a condemnable thing.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

As an adult the reality of life will force you to become independent. Childhood is over.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I'm independent to a fault, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Omar5881]

Financially dependent, other than that I’m pretty independent

[Anonymous]

I'm super independent so much so I didn't date anyone in my 20s because I preferred to travel around. I'm 29 I'm starting to think I'm too old to date

[zeitgeist057]

Nah you're good for another 20-30 years lol

[tponderingundead]

i'm definitely independent. i prefer to do things on my own without help or a boost.

[Anonymous]

I'm very capable of supporting myself but I enjoy being the spoiled brat that I am.
