Am I TOO independent??

New Guy has said recently that I'm a little too independent. I've been thinking about it, and it makes me wonder...

I have worked very hard at my recovery and to break out of toxic and dysfunctional cycles. Is it possible that I've become TOO detached... too desensitized so that I don't allow anyone to get to close? I am proud of the fact that I can take care of myself: emotionally, financially, physically etc. I know my boundaries, my likes and my dislikes. In this process, I've become determined to never "need" anyone to take care of me again. Have I become calloused? Clinical? I really don't know!

I'm just wondering how others have gone thru this process.... how you've found the balance once you've reached that point of independence.
