so I've done pretty well at forging myself a materially-independent lifestyle - I pay my own rent, car payments, food, fun, gas, insurance - the only thing I don't pay for is my tuition. Maybe this is somehow connected?

However, being spritually and emotionally and intellectually independent is failing miserably. Anyone know of a good deserted island?

I don't think people are meant to be independant in all those ways.

I'm not supposed to think for myself? Be able to figure out why I'm upset? Find a solution to the problem without relying completely on others' judgements?

Someone makes decisions, someone thinks independently. There has to be someone, or no decisions would be made. There would just be a lot of people saying, "I don't know, what do you think?" (much like my relationship)
