LOL I feel like your post was an essay question. If so, why? If not, why not?

But I've never saw it from that way before, that if I was viewing myself as independent, that ties in with ego. I've always wanted to be independent to not bother/encumber others. I also feel like, if I give others the ability to do something for me, I would start to lose that ability to do things for myself. That is why when my mom asks me to not wash the dishes, I would do them, or other chores around the house. My dad on the other hand could not be happier, haha.

Good stuff Ulic, you've truly brought some relief to me. Let's hope I make it permanent.
