Self reliance means: the degree to which you do not ask any other person to help you in a matter, as long as you alone can handle it. It refers to the trust, confidence in yourself. \nDependency means that when your tasks are contingent, that is, they can't be done without others involvement. Do not perceive dependencies as unfavorable. They build mutual relationships and replaces mechanistic approaches with organic ones. The best dependency is what on Almighty.\nAnd effect is the result or consequence of an action. It can be positive as well as negative.

That is kind of a tricky little quote. Sometimes placing it in context can help. This is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Self Reliance," which discourages basing one's opinions and actions on common opinion in favor of self-trust (see the full essay at http://www.emersoncentral.com/selfreliance.htm). \nI think the point of this quote is that it's very desireable to have one's own original thoughts and opinions, and to live by them.  It's easier to live by one's own convictions and not be persuaded by others when in isolation (that's the "independence of solitude"). However, not so special to isolate oneself from others in order to attain this ideal. Because it's difficult to live by one's own thoughts and opinions while being a part of society, it's something only a "finished man" can truly do. Also, in the essay, Emerson refers to being childlike - unselfish, non-judgmental, open-minded, uncynical, unhesitant - as something to admire. So I think that's where the seemingly misplaced "perfect sweetness" comes in. When a man can remain pure of heart while living in the harsh world and also keeping and living by his own ideals. \nWhat do you think?

Find your own success, and don't rely on thier success to carry you for anything, the best thing you can do for yourself is be independant.  Never rely on someone else to give you your happiness in whatever form that might be, and don't ever allow someone elses presense in your life be so controlling that you depend on them for your well being, not even your rich parents.

Its called being codependant.  Feeling the need to help others with their own issues to the point of ignoring our own.  Often without being asked.  Read up on codependency, i did just a little while back and my goodness it explained alot.

Since "reliance" is a noun, I'd say "necessity" or "need".

Sometimes we become absorbed in our work, or a project, or a movie, or an activity, or our family, or our church, or even ourselves.  If a person is self-absorbed it means that they are thinking only of themselves, their feelings, their benefit.  They aren't thinking about another person's well-being, but only about how something effects themselves.\n\nself-ab·sorbed (slfb-sôrbd, -zôrbd)\nadj. \nExcessively self-involved.\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=self-absorbed\n\nSad, huh?

This is easy. Only when you have expectations, can you be disappointed.  And when you have something to lose, property, reputation, friends, job, then you can be controlled by the fear of maybe losing that.  When you have little or nothing, then you have nothing to lose so you really do not care.  Either we as people are mostly self-centered (nothing to lose) or we think of others (care, kind, concern).  Thankfully, most of us are genuinely good and want to make the world a better place, so we want to do what we can to make it better.

I think "faith" does weaken self-confidence.  And also responsibility.  I feel MUCH better about myself and my abilities now that I'm not a christian anymore.\n\nI was giving all the glory to God when something went right,.... and blaming myself, or attributing it to learning a needed lesson when something didn't go right.\n\nSo anything that was good was never because of me, and anything that was bad was always my fault.  Does that sound healthy to you?

I have seen people resolve their co dependancy by transfering their additction to something else, aclohol, drugs, even sex, for the feeling of closeness to another person.  The first step from my understanding is to reslove the addictive personality.  Usually when one has an addiction it is from a traumatic experience, first exposure to something and trying to relive that experience, or simply a predisposition to dependancy.  That is what the therapy should focus on, the underlying issue, not the symptom of co dependancy.

Believe in yourself. Self belief is a universal cure. People whom doctors have given up hope on have been cured. People in dangerous and difficult situations have been known to have overcome all difficulties. This is due to self belief. Belief that you can do the impossible and all will be well.

Yes, it is possible, and I understand you worry. However, some people have to be alone to realize their purpose is not human company, they might need to learn more about themselves and without the dsitraction of significant people, one is more likely to concentrate on self awareness.\nIt is alright to be worried, the important thing is your conclusions from this worry, what you do with. If you decide to learn from not having anyone indispensable, you will make it an advantage instead of a problem it seems to be.
