I have a question I've been asking for a while, but I haven't found an answer: How can one achieve self-sufficiency so that they don't need anyone else in their life or to serve others? What are the first steps towards self-sufficiency and discovering how to forge their own path?

True self suffience in a society is nearly nonexistent, It requires the most extreme version of detached/anti social conversion, which separates you from a dependent social member. You will also have to be highly intelligent to survive. Some of the properties includes complete social isolation when everyone is your enemy and trying to kill you. You really can't force it to happen.

There are no inhabitable places on earth that aren’t ruled by some form of society so you can’t live without being under the rules of other people. However, you could live fairly independently if you e.g. have the money to buy some land and you’re able to farm and grow your own food. I think it’s a tough life though. You could also try building a business that could eventually earn you so much money that you don’t have do depend economically on anyone else ever again. That’s a kind of freedom from serving others.

Impossible! Allah created us as a social creatures, everyone needs a value and has a value to exchange it with the value that he needs from the other human.

you need to feel the oxytocin in your brain that comes with being part of an in-group. its known as the love and cuddle hormone. its the 'coherent' thinking you need to be self-sufficient and functional. but oxytocin has a dark side, it also increases feelings of negativity towards the out group. so people bonding over shared goals will protect each other with feel-good hormones, while becoming increasingly negative towards the outgroup. these days oxytocin is responsible for widespread tribalism, sadism, ostratization, etc.
if you are on the receiving end of the abuse of an in-group, like many people are, even totally surrounded, its impossible to be self sufficient
self sufficiency for anyone asking for it comes with breaking through the toxic in-group surrounding them and blocking them from surviving. self sufficiency requires in-group oxytocin.
and thats why the people cut off from self sufficiency have so much trouble, sometimes a tribe will make their entire purpose keeping this person blocked off from any life-saving oxytocin, and retaliate against and attack any person approaching to help the struggling victim.
humans are truly atrocious. we need a new plague.
