Living in a group means two or more people living in a social setting and can be considered as a community. These people share similar interests, attitudes, or cultures which produces a sense of solidarity among them. 

Living independently means an individual maintains separate life from his community and takes all the personal decisions on his own. Such individuals socially isolate themselves from the group and take every decision on their own.
