Here is a hug for the ones who are not "strong & independent".
We place so much importance on independence. This goes for society as a whole - many of us get taught pretty early to think of dependence as weakness. We are taught that people who need help are lazy, that they will get used to it and greedily demand more, that you can only be proud of something if you did it without any help, even that it's better to struggle on your own than to thrive with help.
We judge the person who uses the external resources they need (think about financial support, antidepressants, extra time to finish assignments, therapy, walking sticks, hiring a babysitter or even just crying on someone's shoulder for a while) and we praise the person who refuses to use them. We think of the refusal as a "strong" or "brave" decision - even if the first person is healthier and happier because they accepted help and the second one is struggling to survive without it.
It happens within our community, too. There is that pressure to prove that lgbt+ people don't need anything or anyone - "We do not ask for special rights, just our human rights" turns into "Do never ask for anything at all, ever, or else you are one of those whiny gays everyone hates". We pride ourselves on being hyperindependent and not needing "handouts" from straight/cis people.
Of course nobody - lgbt+ or not - is truly independent. We are human beings, we all need each other. Even if you make your own money and pay for your own food, someone else sells it to you. Someone else cleans the supermarket you buy it from. Someone else delievered it to the supermarket. And so on, and so on. Complete independence is a myth.
Even the most "independent" people still rely on other people in some ways - and some people rely on others in many ways. Some rely on others in ways the majority of people does not. Neither group is inherently bad or good, they are all just human beings with their own unique needs. It's normal to have needs. We, as a society, vilified something that literally everyone has and something we literally need to survive.
So, for all those of us who rely on others a lot or in less common ways (I am part of that group myself!), here is just a reminder that all of that negative stuff we are taught about dependence is a big dose of BS. Depending on others does not make you lazy or bad or greedy - it just makes you a human being.
You can be proud of yourself and everything you do, even if you need help to do it. Actually, scratch that, it's especially if you need help to do it. Recognizing that you struggle and need help and actually asking for help, accepting help - that's not weakness, that's strength.
Screw "independence" as the ultimate goal in life. Your happiness, your health, your life are much more important than this made-up independence stuff.
