There once was a woman so very independent
She didn’t rely on others, not even for a cent
There’s no one you can trust
She’d claim with disgust
And till her last days stayed lonely and repentant

22 April 2015 at 4:18 pmWell it’s admirable of a person to want to be independent but having a phobia of it will only make people think of him/her as proud and egoist. Poor lady!

22 April 2015 at 10:59 pmThat’s a fear I think my mom had… she disliked depending on anyone. I guess I too got a part of it. But no, not as extreme as living alone 🙂

23 April 2015 at 1:01 amWow! Maybe I suffer from this phobia?
No, it’s not something which can be taken lightly.. I mean, they really don’t depend on anyone?

24 April 2015 at 7:50 amFine, no issues with being independent but what about friends ? Or even close family ? Since we all depend on them at some point or the other. What a sad life ! Thanks for sharing 🙂
