#hyper-independence

"Didn't have a choice but to be independent at a young age because of parental neglect. Thought it was all, 'hell yeah, I'll show them, I can do anything anyone else can do, it's just me, but that's okay.'"

Mistaking hyper-independence for healthy boundaries often originates from past experiences of disappointment, leading to strong walls set in the name of independence.
