I think what I take pride in the most is my ability to be independent without being egotistical. I like to think things out for myself, and even if I come to the same conclusion that other people have already made, I'm more satisfied that way than just copying philosophies, morals, obligations, and so on that other people have already established. My victories are something I worked for entirely and that's empowering, while my failures are my fault entirely and that's something I would rather face than use someone else as a scapegoat. It's just that I don't see this same notion of independence in other people a lot. Other people who claim to be "independent" are nine times out of ten just people who are contrary for the sake of being contrary because they want to have some sort of false sense of individuality and being above other people and it's a shame because there aren't many people that I can fully resonate with in this area.
