This is only one person's opinion-
I am really getting fed up with dependent people. What I mean is, I can't stand being around people who feel good about themselves only when people are keeping them company, people that don't have the slightest clue about who they are, how they feel, or what they want to do without the company of others. Don't get me wrong, I think it's healthy for people, including myself, to interact with their peers on a regular basis, but I also believe we as people need time alone for ourselves, to reflect and grow in an emotional and psychological sense. And yes, we all have our tragedies, and in the midsts of these personal downfalls we are able to speed up the healing process in the presence of our close friends. But we cannot always expect nor depend, on their support 24/7. We need personal time to find our own solutions. Otherwise, the need for constant company becomes habit-forming, even after the individual has recovered, and the tragedy comes when he or she loses the ability to think or feel as one should on an individual basis.
