The best course will to move ahead step by step to achieve total self-reliance till you need not put a consistent effort out. Here are a couple of basic guidelines, which you can follow to take your road to complete independence.

You should not make other people sacrifice for you. It is not an issue whether the person is your colleague or a relative, putting out your own efforts will give you self-assurance.

At the same time, understand that having independence does not imply that you become a solitary person. You have to enjoy your life like before, be social and meet people and get a feel for new things. Only you can show yourself that you do not need the help of someone in anything or everything and can manage things yourself. This way you can be self-reliant and move ahead independently.
