The most typical cause for feeling needy in a relationship is that you require a man to confirm your self-worth. When you're in a relationship, your self-esteem, happiness, and general sense of worth rise. When you are not a part of one, you feel inadequate. And requesting someone's respect and attention does not imply that you are needy. Giving you affection and attention will not be a chore if someone cares about you. I believe we frequently overlook a fundamental fact: if someone values you, they will show it. They will not play games with you by waiting days to react to your communications.
