Hmm...I value what I am able to do on my own. I do get discouraged with a possible learning disability/lacking skills.

Taken care of; no. Sometimes helped/reminded with schedules, taxes, insurance, bills; yes. I don't know how anyone can manage all that information alone while working full-time without crashing. I'd much rather accept help than miss something and have someone else P.O.'ed at me.

No. :twisted: Unless you're my mom, I don't want anyone to help me and deal with things.

But truly, I want self sufficiency. That, and without anyone worrying about me or anything.

I like being independent because I don't want to feel like a burden and I feel like I get more freedom that way. I think it took me a little longer to get that way though because I haven't trusted myself to do certain things and would want advice and help from others.

Agreed. My abilities really don't match my standards and expectations. I am very independently minded, I hate having any kind of dependency on others and value self sufficiency, plus I am very private about my personal business and don't want anyone sticking their nose in - but my inabilities to work mean I get stuck living with my relatives. I can't afford rent, or anything else, without a job, so I just end up sitting around. The social aspects of working are also impossible for me. People seem to think you just go to work and do a task - if only that were the case. It takes an incredible amount of social cohesion. Plus there are the schedules and so on which I don't do well with and I just end up shutdown. I'm working on this, to be completely independent, it's that important.
I hate the very idea of being looked after in any way. I just wish my functional abilities weren't practically negligible and I could be totally independent.

I don't want anyone taking care of me. I value my independence.
