"One is free from depression when they derive their self worth from the truth of their own feelings, and not from the posession of certain things or qualities." - Alice Miller, The Drama of The Gifted Child

It's tough to do this when others derive our self worth from possessions.
Unfortunately, a lot of self-sufficiency quotes fall short when you want other people in your life. Sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.
