You are NOT Too Needy

Having Needs is Being Human

When someone calls us “Too Needy” it’s often because they don’t want to meet our needs, not that there’s anything problematic about them in the first place.
The trick is finding the right people who are willing to negotiate, compromise and reciprocate our needs in ways that help us all grow.
We ALL have legitimate human needs.
Needs are Human
Needs Include:
  • Safety & Security
  • Affection & Sex
  • Validation & Reassurance
  • Quality Time Connecting
  • Novelty & Independence
What Needs Include
When someone calls us needy, it's often because they don't want to meet them.
You are NOT Too Needy
When people have competing needs judging them is a way of coping.
You are NOT Too Needy
Instead of acknowledging all disparate needs as legitimate we can react by devaluing others needs.
You are NOT Too Needy
Honoring our needs means asserting them, making requests, and reciprocating with the right people.
You are NOT Too Needy
Finding the right balance with giving & receiving helps relationships grow.
