Who said anything about existing independently of anyone else? Whether you're around other people or not, you as an individual human being, a conscious and sentient entity that experiences existence, have inherent value. And that value is not dependent upon those around you.
Totally disagree. A person can and should feel they have value, if only to their own self completely independent of anyone else.
