INDEPENDENT

[Different]

Listen, one of the worst things that you can do in life is to constantly be dependent on someone to do something for you. All it does is show others that you’re a vexatious individual who’s far too incompetent to do anything for themselves. At a job, the employer would label you as a liability. Now before you reach your hand out to someone, just ask yourself whether a job can be done by yourself. These are 10, basic things that you should learn how to do on your own as an adult:

• Having your own ride
  

• Having your own place
  

• Fixing your own car
  

• Fixing things in your house
  

• Taking care of your own lawn
  

• Cooking for yourself
  

• Paying bills with your own money
  

• Having your own car insurance
  

• Having your own health insurance
  

• Having your own dental insurance
  

If you can’t do any of these things, then obviously there’s a problem. Everyone’s situation is different. But I’ll be damned if I’m lacking the first one where I don’t have my own ride. It’s just incredibly frustrating having to hit up a homie or a relative, every time you need to get some errands done. At some point, they’ll think that you’re using them, and then they’ll tell you to get your shit together. It’s a realty check and a massive punch to the gut, but it’s the cold-hearted truth. People have their own problems in life, and the last thing that you want to do is be that guy or girl who’s constantly needing someone for something.

Being independent sounds so much sweeter than dealing with bullshit from other people. Some people are disabled with special needs, therefore I can sympathize for that part. But a grown ass man or woman who’s healthy with a roof over their head and no issues, you gotta drill some effin discipline into your skull and learn to be more independent. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help, but when it becomes a pattern where it happens more frequently (even though you already know better), then we got a problem. Unless you’re paying someone, most people won’t do any charity work for you all the time.

I take public transit, so I don't find the car ones relevant. But I do think I am self-sufficient.

I can understand that because they’re too many reckless morons driving on the road, today. What if you were in another country where people abide by the rules and regulations of driving. Would you ever consider getting a license and a car, then?

If cost wasn't an issue, then sure. Right now I couldn't afford to make car payments, tune ups, repairs, gas, etc.

I do agree that driving yourself around is a lot more convenient, but my anxiety makes getting behind the wheel very difficult. For now, I can make things work with public transit.

All these dealerships do is rip people off with payments and things like that. I’d much rather pay for a car with cold cash. People fall in love with cars so much that they’d rather make payments instead of saving up and buying it straight out.

Probably a good thing for you to do public transit in that case. Recently, I’ve heard someone getting shot during a road rage incident. It’s devastating, but I’d rather control my emotions and brush it off versus killing a man in cold blood because he cut me off.

I also take public transit (no car) and I usually have one of my fellow church members pick me up to go to church, so there's certain things that I am mostly dependent on others for, but I also am living alone and for other matters I am content doing it solo. So a mix!

I don't have a car as the bus and train are decent enough here
Half of these aren't relevant to me, but the half that are I do (if you count renting for having your own place)

It’s always great to have someone to rely on when you can’t do certain things for yourself. With transportation, I can sympathize with that for other people because of road rages and car accidents. For me, I can’t stand waiting on someone to pick me up because I’ve had people in the past give me the impression that I’m going to be waiting a long time for them to show up.

Living on your own is the best thing that can happen to a person. It’s freedom to make your own choices whenever you feel like it.

Well at least you don’t have to worry about lawn care or fixing anything in your apartment. Usually those things are the landlords responsibility. I’d also imagine that you do cook for yourself. As for me, I tend to eat out sometimes because I don’t always feel like cooking.

Does your question necessarily include case for depending on the internet or an artificial intelligence to get answers or get helped?

It could be both. It doesn’t matter which one it is because I look at it as you depending on social media, AI, some kind of entity, or a person outside of social media to constantly help you with your problems. You’re only independent when you’re doing your own research and not relying on AI or someone to solve everything for you.
