I think the key is in the Webster definition. Independence is
decisionmaking power and ability to control your own actions. We can
be independent while still seeking help as long as we are freely
choosing to seek that help. That said, sometimes when we are still
learning how to do things, we don't know when we truly need help and
when it is actually more efficient to do something without help.
