Accidentally filed as a dependent when I am independent! Does anyone know how to fix that within the 1040x?

When filling my 2020 taxes i came to realize I accidentally filed as a dependent this year my parents are not claiming me and I'm going to be doing them independent. I know I have to file for a 1040x but it is super complicated I'm just wondering how can I change my status and if I have to fill out the whole form?

Go back into the Personal Info section and click the boxes that someone can and will claim you. If you have no other changes, that is all you have to do.
