How can I learn to be more independent?!
Question:
How can I learn to be more independent?
I have found that I compromise my actions and sometimes even some beliefs to meet other peoples expectations (parents, etc.) just to make them happy and I forget what makes me happy. In the end I don't feel good about my choices because i don't feel it was me who chose it.
I don't even always realize when it is happening

Depending on your age, if you can "ride out the storm" until you are old enough to make your own way, you can do what you want no matter what anyone wants or expects of you. There comes a point where you have to get what you want, and people ask things of you that compromise your ideas etc. because they read you as a push over. Sometimes you have to say I honestly could care less what you think, I am going to do what I want for a while no matter what.
