I'm that way. I HATE asking for help or anything.
I even know lot about first aids and medicines, how to make many things, have books on every things you can think of, cook, and the list goes on. This make me pretty much virtually independent.
It's very good thing if you pay very close attention to details, can plan ahead, can change plan fast, and other things.
Also many people would most likely go up to you for help because they will notice that you are alway fine. So they will assume that you have solution to all problems. I consider that a good thing since I hate to feel like I cannot help anyone that need help. Also you will be amazed by how far some simple quote can push people if they hear it from you.
On other hand there's a lot downside. I often don't know when to stop and ask for help which could get me in really bad situtation. People often are turn off because I simply seem like I don't have any use for them. When it come to relationship, oh man!!!!! It's almost alway a nightmare because girl will end up think I don't trust her.
So there's a up and down to your situtation.

Need is a funny(strange) word. There is need as in co-dependent, which is bad. Then there is need as in, 'in love', which is good. There is need as in not being able to do something by yourself and needing help to do it, Which is necessary. There is even need as in help with coping. The fact is, We all need each other, though it is in different capacities and in different degrees. To need anyone too much or too little is unhealthy. Find the right balance to be happy.

I like to think so. Then you don't sound so needy. However, no man is an island. One way, or the other we need each other; even for just the company or the aggravation.

I think that it's ok as long as you don't isolate yourself from everybody. But sometimes, in the workplace, that can be hard, since you must know how to delegate work to some other people, and do teamwork.

We sound like similar people. It is great to be independent, but when you do need halp- it is important to know who to turn to. Need is not the end of the world. It reminds us self sufficient folk that wea re human, too. Painful- isn't it!

Maybe you just don't know anyone who you want to need, and you want to need you.
You obviously don't have kids. You will find out quick with kids the power of needing and being needed.

It's ok to be self-suficient- but , like Dean Martin once said , "Everybody needs somebody sometime ".

Yes this makes you a very independent person. just don't be so independent that you push everyone away.
