Be emotionally independent

It probably isn’t as simple as this to actually live by as anything else, but I think it comes down to this…
We all need eachother emotionally and if we didn’t have emotional connection with eachother we would live miserable lives, more probably we would die. Bieng emotionally independent perhaps means that although we cherish connections with others, we don’t depend on the feelings of others about us to stay happy. And not relying on other people solely for our happiness. We all know those people who just can’t stand to be alone, (ive been one for sure,) and that’s not healthy because we ultimately have to look inside for happiness. I can write it down but I don’t quite feel it yet….
