How do you feel about interdependence?

In regards to relationships, your career and coworkers, your neighborhood, your country?

[i][b]If[/b][/i] you are on the independent side of the spectrum (dependent/interdependent/independent) in regards to relationships, would you sacrifice your independence for the protection and safety of others? I don't mean you sacrifice your rights or the constitution is compromised to any degree whatsoever. I mean, would you sacrifice your innate need to rely solely on yourself in order to protect others?

Interdependence is proactive way of life only very few are successful of capably doing. There's no room for insecurities and pettiness.

I am in an interdependent situation where I'm the designated caregiver for a loved one. We both have a few disabilities although not very visible ones. We look out for one another. Yes it's a sacrifice in some ways, and we go through rough patches, but we both feel that it is right for us.

Its a fact not a feeling.

Some people should be cared for more than my precious personal self. I get that. Who else thinks that way?

But if you don't you do not understand interdependence

I prefer to just be independent with a large social circle. 🙂
