force yourself to be alone when you can. when doing so, try to picture what exactly it is that is bothering you when you are. it’s okay to want to be sociable, and even to feel the need to be. however, when it comes to deeper, more dependent friendships or even romantic relationships, you have to acknowledge that you must be comfortable with being independent before being even a little dependent.
