Rite of passage.
Avec:
I thought being alone is the last thing you'd want.
usmcnavgeek:
Hell, I've done all of the above (stretching one definition slightly) and I guess I'm not sure, when I think about it. Which doesn't help you answer your question, unfortunately.
Perhaps it's more accurate to say that I don't bother asking myself the question anymore. That might be a good answer.
(p.s.: 'Rite' of passage)
ackblom12:
I never said anything about being alone. I said learning to be an independent entity. That has nothing to do with being a lonely sad sack.

I suppose there's a huge gap in culture. Although I do live in the US, I represent a lot of the ideas of my origins. I'm russian, and although I hate the thought of living with my parents when I'm older that's something that's common down in the motherland. Just a thought...
Caspian:
I've always thought it's a bit of shame that there's no defined right of passage in modern western society. no sort of "right, go out and live in the wilderness for a month, eating only that which you can forage or hunt, and when you come back you're a man". It'd help (maybe) get rid of a lot of those 20-something adolescents, you'd think? Otherwise I'm pretty clueless as to what in modern society typically separates the men from the boys.
