Currently living with parents but I’d like to know how to become independent so I can fall back on that knowledge in future

There’s something uniquely different to not live together with other people anymore. For everyone I’ve talked to, including myself, living alone for a while was an incredibly important experience, not replaceable by simply “doing things for yourself”.
Only when there’s no one around can you truly figure out what you would want yourself. As long as there’s immediate interaction, just even being seen doing something, there’s some kind of influence on our psyche by this interaction. There’s just some large difference to when you’re completely independent/alone for a while.
Being able to do stuff like you say is fine and makes sense and is good preparation, but it’s just not in the same ballpark at all.
Oh yeah, undoubtedly it’s not the same. But getting practiced at the essential activities means that it’s not so overwhelming when you end up by yourself.
