I guess then it boils down to what you feel comfortable with. Because if you're fully confident with what you have -- whether its independence or interdependence -- then other people can sense that and react to it. In that sense, they'll either have to take you or leave you, if you know what I mean.
It is very scary, though; I agree. Even so, you still have a good group of friends -- and I'm not just talking about Ed, Mike, and I in general -- who will support you so you aren't always separate. But I understand you don't mean it in that sense. More in a romantic one, right?

It's okay. I'm not afraid to get into a relationship. I'm more than willing cause that means I can rely and take care of that person wholeheartedly without restraint.
Idk with Friends. ^-^ The Story gets down to how you want to live your life I guess.

On the other, if I don't open myself up I ultimately confide myself to a life of being separate. Which in truth is scarier than dieing at some points.
