Agree
- Claiming independence proves dependence on approval
- Social animals can't escape caring fundamentally
- The protest reveals the wound
- True indifference never announces itself
Disagree
- Some genuinely achieve healthy detachment from opinions
- Claiming this dismisses real personal growth
- Declaring independence helps build it
- Not everyone needs external validation
