I don't think that being independent has anything to do with whether you're alone or with another person. To me it means having the ability to be alone if you need to be and the ability to stand on your own if push comes to shove. The ability to formulate your own opinions and make your own decisions.
You may want to have someone with you, but you don't have to have someone with you. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not, but to me...that's the difference.
