Hyper-independence often grows from places of hurt — where trusting others once led to disappointment, betrayal, or feeling like a burden. It can look like strength on the outside, but underneath, it’s often loneliness, fear, and a belief that needing help makes you weak.

Self-reliance is powerful. But when it’s fueled by fear instead of choice, it can quietly rob you of connection, support, and the softness you deserve to feel.
