Hi there, thanks for reaching out. 💜 If I were to try to encourage myself to live more independently, I feel like I would try to focus on two ideas:

• There might be some benefits to living more independently
• It is possible/doable to live more independently.

Here is a link I was able to find that describes some of the possible benefits of living more independently. There are a few tips at the end for ways of doing this.

And here is another link that has some tips for living independently, but with more of a focus on how to be more independent in existing friendships/relationships.
