It seems clear that your idea of independence is largely rooted in how other people interact with you, i.e.if hot girls want to bone you and you're not interested, then you're independent. If you want to bone hot girls and they're not interested, then you're not independent. The point is, if you're really independent whether or not you are screwing or getting screwed has nothing to do with your identify, your sense of self-worth, and whether or not you go out and do things. You take your value and sense of worth from yourself, not from how other people view you. Can you tell I have been spending a lot of time with my mother?

I think the point of being independent is not actually giving a shit if other people want to be with you or not. Which means that you don't give a shit, even if others don't want to be with you. Also, seriously, cheerleaders and pretentious undergrads? That might be your problem, right there.
