To be self reliant, means you are more comfortable doing things on your own. Whether it be doing your own laundry, even though your mother offers. Or doing chores on your own without anyone asking you, but you feel uncomfortable when people tell you things you already know and are about to do.
This is coming from experience. I rather do things on my own instead burdening other people with my strife. It's a good thing to do things on your own, but when others off their hand and do things for you; you start to feel uncomfortable with yourself and start to put yourself down and feel like a huge burden to others.
Not only that, sometimes I tend to bite off more than I can chew, and I end up in failure and disappointment.
