How do you learn to live independently?

I don’t mean to live on your own I mean how do you learn to live your life based around yourself, not depending on others for your happiness. I guess I’m trying to ask: how do you make your own happiness? How do you learn to find yourself and feel comfortable with yourself?

I guess maybe you could start making small goals for yourself? Take up a new activity, like say sketching or painting or cycling or cooking (for example), and invest in things that you want for yourself.

Stop giving in to your urges to buy respect and affection from other people by doing things for them.

When you feel the urge, hold yourself back.

Instead build your confidence and self-esteem by setting small challenges for yourself and pushing yourself to meet them over and over.

You start by finding things worth happiness, things that don’t come from other people. It’s different for everyone. You must fin purpose in your own life.
