How can I be emotionally independant?

I usually feel as if I have to be surrounded by people, like friends and my boyfriend to make me happy. How can I be more independant?

Answer #1

some people are like that, its the way your brought up so I don’t think you can help it. Because im the same way, in order to stay happy and in a good mood I have to see evryone several times a week. If im by myself a lot I start to get depressed

Answer #2

Same problem here…if I’m not constantly around people I start feeling lonely. I think it has to do with the fact that I’m from a big family. I’ve tried becoming more independent by doing things alone, like going to restaurants for lunch, or movies and taking long walks by myself just to clear my head…but at the end of the day I rather do these things with my loved ones…isn’t that normal?
