be more independent

i have made some good improvements. I make my own money, but had to ask my mom for money for the first time in almost two years. I hate that last part. Also, hopefully by august, i will move out of my parent’s house and room with a couple of friends. I can cook for myself, do my own laundry, and know how to do all the house chores lol.

I’ve been helping people earn income from home for over 8 years and looking for another person I can help. If you know anyone looking for more income let me know and I will do a live webcast for them.
The person must be self motivated,looking for a marketing position, and into owning their own business. (not MLM)

so saturday night i went out on my own with out my boyfriend and met up with all my friends
there were numerous time i wanted to call him etc but i restrained with the help of a friend whomade i didnt
it felt good ive still got a long way to go though

im too dependent on my boyfriend, and its like i live my life for him, ineed to gain my own independence, i need to gain my own hobbies and life

I’m 20 and still live at home so clearly im not independent at all. Whilst i got a job and earn and save money so at least im not running to them for that kinda stuff, i suppose is the step in the right direction. But i need a change, a big change where they cant help me so i will have to learn for myself. In summer they and my wee sis will be going on hoilday to the states for a couple of weeks while my other sister will also be working there all summer so i’ll be home alone for 2 weeks. This so be a great chance to prove espically to my mum that i can look after myself. But i need to learn to cook and use the washing macine. I can already do the ironing so at least thats something :p But im looking forward to it I think it’ll teach me to phone my mates more and get a bit closer to them too which is only a good thing.

Even though i do go the gym by myself i still prefer being there with a friend but i need to imporve my social skills and being left alone i wont be happy being a lner for 2 weeks so it will force me to make more of an effort and make that first step. Thats what i need and want the most.

When I say be more independent I dont really know what I mean. Do I mean i need to stop asking my friends to come with me wherever I go, eat by myself, go to the gym by myself? There’s a fine line between not handling those things by yourself and to just do everything by yourself.

I wanna feel that if I planned to go to the gym with two friends and if both get sick, i go anyway. That kind of independency. Not just that, financially.

You see, I will go to USA and earn money every week for taking care of a random family’s children. My parents will not be there to help me. It’s my economy only and I can spend it on whatever i want. BUT as it is now, my parents help with all hard things and they wont be able to do so when I’m away. So before I go I need to make a budget. I need to see exactly what I have and how i spend it.

An other way of being independent is to welcome changings. Being in USA for a year will be “no more mummy and daddy” (not that I say that but still they do have a big part of my life still, I live at home, im 18 duuh, and i go to school). The minute I graduate my real life will begin and I must welcome that. I must.

I wanna be independent.
Wish me luck

I have definitely become more independant but my idea of independence has changed. At first I just wanted to do things that I should have done on my own but never did for example, going to the gym alone. I have accomplished that but now I have moved on. I recently quit the volleyball team becuase I felt trapped, like I was doing it only because I felt I had to not that I really wanted to. I was on the team more for the what being on the team ment…status. Now I want to be independent by doing things I have always wanted to do but have been too afraid to because they arent things everyone would think was part of my personality.

I have never been completely 100% independent, and its made me such a lazy bastard. If i dont have people helping me the entire way, i just dont do it. Im slowly running out of people to depend on, so i really have no choice but to become more independent. Im not really sure how to achieve such unobtainable goals on my own, the thought is a bit overwhelming. I know i will never be completely happy, and as painful as that is i will have to accept it, but i wont accept just rotting away and becoming a dead memory. As hard as it may be i have to go out by myself and actually try to do the things that are important to me.

I pretty much drive/ take myself anywhere I need to go, including some places in the middle of ATL I have never been before. That’s a pretty big one for me because I HATE driving, especially in Atlanta… and used to avoid it whenever possible. Now I pretty much just suck it up and go without too much anxiety. I have two more hurdles to jump before marking this off: taking full responsibility for/ care of Shi Shi, and being more responsible for my state of mind (instead of relying on others to help pick me up when I’m down and stuff like that).

i want to be so much more independent than i am write now. my boyfriend and i have been dating for 3 months and we see each other everyday, but before i dated him i did everything on my own, i always want him to come with me places but im afraid he gets annoyed and i want to be more independent. i do stuff on my own but i feel like now that i have him he can be a companion and keep me company nevertheless i feel like im giving in .. idk lol ugggh
