I am so there with you. Like, why did I not have someone come with me when I had my wisdom teeth out? That was so stupid! I mean, I was OK on my own, but I would totally have been even finer if I'd had someone else to ride home with me and make my damn jello for me. And I know there are people who would have been happy to do that for me (and even people for whom it would not have been all that difficult) but I didn't ask them. Stupid!
With me, a lot of it's about pride. Also about knowing I can make it on my own, and knowing that I don't have to be beholden to anyone. But really. Obviously this can be taken too far. And I think I was getting to that point with the taking-the-subway-home-from-oral-surgery-by-myself thing.
