hyperindependence is a trauma response. nothing to brag about. and. the ability to hyperfocus, alone in the mind, alone with the impossible goal (it was impossible)... I try to deemphasize the hyperindependence tool. let her gather dust. that said, I'm not taking her behind the woodshed anytime soon

It comes across as awkward from taking a social nicety literally, but I've taken to answering honestly when someone asks "how are you?"
Normalize it's ok to not be ok.

If I eat nothing but rice and beans the rest of the month I should be able to make it without any help!

Nå har jeg klarte å finne ut hvorfor jeg syns det er flaut med krykke.Jeg føler meg ikke syk nok som bare har vrikket kneet. Så det føles som at jeg lyver eller at folk tenker det.

Også hyperindependence, og seff fatphobia relatert, sånn man vet jo hva folk tenker om feite folk med hjelpemidler.

1) nikki is estranged from her family at a young age, which to me screams that she is almost definitely anxious avoidant. She feels that being abandoned is inevitable and leans into hyperindependence to cope with that reality, but desperately wishes to be proven wrong (her comment about needing to-

That hyperindependence may be a bad thing for others, but it really isn’t for me.

The path I’m on has to be walked alone. Everything I want I need to get or create with my own hands. I can’t keep the pace I want depending on others. But that’s ok. No one is as invested in me as me. Maybe hyperindependence isn’t always a bad thing when one truly is just more capable by themselves.

Hyperindependence + crafty = I can make/fix almost anything if I put my mind to it

Yesterday, my son told me ~2 hours before homecoming that he was going w/a girl. I was able to make a corsage and boutonniere even though I’d never tried to make either (ignore the regular ass refrigerator content)

for a system so high on its own claims of hyperindependence, it's shocking how little profitability there is for companies that don't exploit public money in some way

i think generational housing should be encouraged honestly. the hyperindependence that people are taught to yearn for is so detrimental to their own wellbeings

My parents been married 30 something years. This lady truly does not have to lift a finger, that's how I know hyperindependence is a disease!! 😭

lets say the start of This degree not the one i tried and dropped out of:

- it is ok to be proud of yourself! you are in a place most people like you never get to be!
- ask! questions! get over your ego and hyperindependence. RINSE your professors for knowledge!
- do not take US intelligence.

"I once saw a facebook post that floored me. It talked about hyperindependence being a trauma response. Learning to ask for and accept help is a long journey for many of us. Go gently."

Fühle mich in meinem mittelfristigen Ziel, mein Leben hin zu einem full-time-Vanlife aufzubauen, immer mehr bestätigt. Hyperindependence und geographische Flexibilität um vor Nazis zu flüchten. Und vielleicht noch 1-2 mehr Hunde. Damit ich mich sicherer fühle.

sure is hard to unlearn hyperindependence as a coping mechanism when people keep demonstrating that you can’t rely on them

hyperindependence as a sign of trauma 😩

Sometimes ptsd (the core mechanism of which is "stuff that kept you safe when you were at risk of dying otherwise but now you aren't and it's still hanging around") is flashbacks and panic attacks and sometimes it's just hyperindependence blocking the formation of close bonds. Sorry! Sorry

owning a theracane is one of the diagnostic criteria for pathological hyperindependence
