I used to believe what you say, that relying on others is a benefit. Yet as I grew older, I came to a realization through circumstances within my home that it's better you don't. Always doing for yourself and relying only on you has been my motto so to say for many years, even after traveling with others to save our world. Part of me believes they never truly wanted to be actual friends of mine and that we were all only companions in a mutual cause.
