we are dependent on other people only if we choose to be

I choose not to believe other people about things that really matter to me. It has served me well. I have had a better life not believing other people. For example everyone else told me to do something different about my son than I ended up doing. If I hadn't trusted my own observations, we would be in a different place now, than the one we are in. And so it goes with the rest of my life. So perhaps you consider yourself dependent- I only consider myself as dependent as I wish to be.
