Spend some time and write some ideas down as to who you are , what makes you happy what is important in your life.
Let yourself feel happy and confident for the things you are good at, listening , helping , painting etc.
Independance grows from confidence. rediscover what you enjoy out of life, take up a night course, a sport join a gym.
Book a holiday with a group of people you don't know, be open to new ideas and new people, make new friends.
Take it one step at a time build confidence in yourself and meet new people. Open up to new thoughts,ideas and different outlooks people have in life. Good luck.

By being a man and standing on your own two feet. Don't think life revolves around you and you should get what you want just by asking for it. Work hard for what you want in life. If you fall get back up and try again. That's the only way you will become mentally, and emotionally independent.

ONLY YOU can do that for yourself -- and that is by being comfortable in your own skin as a Financially Independent Adult, assuming and dealing with the ADULT Responsibilities and Adult Consequences of your choices/actions and time. The longer you are independently living successfully (and you are employed, paying all your own bills, making your own decisions, whatever), then the more you can be self-confident in your ability to be independent in other ways as well.

CODA--go check out any/all literature regarding Codependency. I think you will gain a great deal. I can't even understand the term "temporary breakup" which says alot about your condition of self hate, dependence, self blame etc. Read Melody Beatty too.......there's great stuff (don't go to their meetings necessarily) for love addicts. I don't buy into the whole further dependent world of that particular group but I think codependency has its merits. I think you might be best making friends for a couple years, dating and finding what's deeper in you. Have you been involved with alcoholics or did you come from either a very quiet family or the opposite (yeller hitters). Is guilt part of your family of origin shtick? good luck. Crack the phone book or google this and you could alwasy go to Alanon to start.

Well, as human beings we all need to be dependent on other people, namely family and friends. You can only lessen the degree but you cannot be completely independent. Mentally, it would be hard i imagine but i would advise you to concentrate on being mentally STRONG instead of independent.
