Do you think we really need some friends to talk about our feelings?
can a mature and dependent person live without close friends?
Do you think being lonely is a good excuse for bad mood? or it is a sign of weakness?

independent I mean

I went through a period of loneliness when I was in law school for about a year. I cut off friends and family, and didn't have a girlfriend. It was a rough time, and even as an introvert, it was tough on my body and my soul.
So being lonely can put you in a justifiable bad mood, but that mood only serves to keep others away. You need to take responsibility to break the cycle and bring others back into your life.
In light of your new comment that you meant independent instead of lonely I would add this....
I moved out of my father's house at the age of 17 and lived independently until I married my wife at the age of 24. They were great years, and although confronting the real world is tough, it is rewarding and it makes you mature.

The key word in your question is "dependent". A dependent person always needs someone else to support them. It does not matter what I have been. What matters is that you have recognized that you need to get out and meet people. It is a sign or recognition and not one of weakness. Attend your local house of worship. You meet all kinds of people there. You also used the word "mature". Based on that, I would also recommend visiting your local senior citizen center. Most of the people there are still very much on the ball and many are looking for people with whom to associate.

I've been depressed for a long time before and it is so lonely. On top of that, all my close friends live in another state. I use the internet as a social outlet and I don't know if that's a good thing.

i dont think you need friends to be able to talk about feelings..because i have some close friends..and i dont really find myself expressing all my emotions to them. but maybe thats me..im not very dependent...i think its because of the way i think.. i think friends are important but not as important as what i want to do in life..and my goals in life...we only live once...i dont like to have bad feelings lol. If you are lonely...only one person can help you fix that..and thats you! go out there and make some friends if you feel you need them

If there is anything you want to know about solitude let me know, at the beginning of September 2007, I will have officially been alone for 36 years and not by choice, I am not weak, and I try to keep a positive glow about myself. Although I know I will not be alone forever there is nothing more I desire than to end this solitude..

one can be lonely in a room full of people, it is wonderful to have people you trust to share good and bad times with. being lonely is not fun

It's nice to have that "special someone."
