Everybody likes to be needed?
Not me. Wanted, sure, but not needed. What could possibly be the appeal of having someone hanging off you all the time, the obligation to take care of them, the obligation to make them feel better if they are upset, the obligation to spend a ton of time with them because if you don't, then something unimaginably-terrible will happen to them, because they
need you. A need is critical to survival, so if they don't have it, they will die, and it will be your fault. A person who
needs someone in the true definition of the word would be suicidal (or something like that) without them, and what kind of a loving statement is it to say "stay with me or I will kill myself"?
