<p>Being far from home and friends with new lifes perspectives, have make you more dependent of your peer/roommates/suitemates? Do you feel being influenced by them?
If you are asking why Im so obsessed with this subject, it is because Im dealing with a Ds brokenhearted from a suddenly changed relationship after the school year started, and I want to help her to deal with.</p>
<p>No, I’ve actually become even more self-sufficient since I’ve arrived on campus…And no, I’m definitely not being influenced by them. But then again, I was never dependent on people to begin with…Things like that just take time; tell her to try and get involved with other school activities or do something she enjoys so she doesn’t spend all her time rehashing her ex.</p>
<p>I think AT FIRST I was dependent on other people. Probably because I was a new girl in (what seemed at the time) a big city where I didn’t know anyone. That passed after the first semester though. Eventually I got involved in activities, started connecting with a group of friends, and that dependency faded.</p>
