<human>: I have been with my boyfriend for about half a year now. Due to issues in our relationship at the very beginning, I have become quite insecure. My biggest issue right now is being way too dependent on him. We live together and I hate not being with him. I get sad and I feel alone. I also hate not talking to him even for just 20 minutes. 

It has come to the point where I don't like when he hangs out with his friends (which happens rarely), and I don't like when he talks to other people. I feel like part of the issue is I cannot stand when he drinks, and I know that he will be getting drunk with his friends whenever they go out.

I want to be okay with him having friends and not being together 24/7. I want to be able to just be independent and happy by myself when I am alone. I want to be okay to the point where I am not questioning life or my happiness just because he is not there beside me physically.  I know my feelings and hatred of even the thought of him being with his friends or talking to someone else is ridiculous and people should be independent from their significant other.

I just can't seem to get over it. When he doesn't reply to a text or answer a call immediately I worry as if he is doing something I won't like, hanging out with his friends, or being unfaithful.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I am too dependent on my boyfriend and don't like when he is not with me, or when he is with/talks to other people. For those who have experienced a similar dependence and insecurity, how did you overcome it?
