I think for me this sums it up sadly:
Lad thinks hyper-independence is about “protection – from being disappointed, being hurt by someone – or having had an experience that’s led someone to believe that it’s actually easier to do it all themselves. It’s not that a hyper-independent person doesn’t want help. In fact, they crave that help, but they want to feel safe enough to receive it.”
