I have a really hard time being independant. When we ask each otehr what should we change about ourselves they always tell me stop being so needy and acting like a little baby. They're not wrong either. I guess being the baby in the family makes you like that? But i hate feeling bad everytime my best friend hangs out with someone else or being self-consious about standing in the lunch line alone or something. I wish i could just be happy on my own. Any help? (this is kinda ironic since im asking others)
