Dependability can be kind of scary. When you know people depend on you, you want to be very dependable and do everything you can for them when they need you. But what if you aren't there when they need you most? Then they start losing faith and trust in you. However, if you come through for them then you're looked at as extremely trust worthy and a good friend, and they become even more dependent on you. I love when my friends and family depend on me and I'm able to come trough for them. It makes me feel really good when they're happy :). I'm very much independent for many things, but I definitely depend on friends and family for things as well. Especially family. I know what it's like to be let down or flaked on so I try my best to avoid doing that to people I'm close with. You learn who you can find dependability in and you avoid the ones who lack in that department.
