slowinmi is right on spot here.

I am assuming you are a male, sorry, don't know these days. If so, that is not unusual, but girls often do get more assistance from parents. At least you know that she is loved by her parents, let me tell you, that is a good sign. Would you want a girl friend that had issues from neglect and perhaps was very needy?

If it ever gets really serious and you end up married the one thing you can look forward to is that the parents will most likely support both of you in many ways.

A question, could this be because your parents give you little support and love?
If so, then that is not what is going to define you UNLESS YOU LET IT. And parents often think that boys are more independant too. But don't get carried away on the envy or it will interfere with your relationship. Just enjoy your girlfriend and her kind ways, enjoy the fact that she does know love and appreciation and that it can benifet you as she will be more stabel emotionally.

Sometimes men get a little intimatidate if a girl is strong and has a support system.
That means that you have to work on your self esteem. Don't be hard on yourself, you are very young yet, You can do it, keep working at yourself and study and learn.

Just because a woman isn't needy of you doesn't mean you are any less of a person.
It is better and healthier if you and your girlfriend can focus on the relationship and growing together.
