Honestly, I don't think so. The only reason I'm alive right now is probably my family. Without them I would be totally alone in the world at this point. My friends have all finally slipped away, as I knew they would eventually. I tried to hold on, but they've moved on and I've become so at odds with the world that I've begun to embrace my reputation as a hermit, in spite of myself.
It's odd. I have very little sense of independence, but I'm probably more of an independent soul than most of the human population. I think many of us social phobics are. Thanks to our anxiety we can't get out of our own way and make a life exclusively for ourselves, yet we are by ourselves all the time. I'm not financial independent or anything like that, but emotionally I'm probably too independent.
