They humor me because I'm the baby.

There are many reasons for friendship. Respect is one of those reasons, or should be.

If you were not respected, then you would not have enjoyable company.

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

I know they respect me...

[hope-damnit.livejournal.com]

What is it that you seek, then?

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

Independence. But I'm afraid.

[hope-damnit.livejournal.com]

It's frightening, to be independent. It implies that you must be alone.

However, I do not think that is necessarily the case. It simply means that you have the ability to take charge for yourself. Depending on others is not a weakness, either. It is often required, no matter who you are.

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

[hope-damnit.livejournal.com]

You are welcome.

All will be well.

honest opinion:

i think you play up this bit of yourself, because you have trouble knowing/trying other ways to act or be

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

Changing a group dynamic is hard. And scary. I'm afraid to be alone but I also want independence.

[grenadeball.livejournal.com]

are you also afraid that you'd wonk so hard into the 'INDEPENDENCE YEAHHHHHH' segment that you'd be forcing out a part of yourself that isn't you in a grab to be treated differently

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I got a taste of independence before I came here but it was lonely.

[grenadeball.livejournal.com]

then you've yet to learn how to rock it naturally

independence does not, and never does, mean 'cut off connections with others'
