I like to be wanted. Sometimes I like being needed too but there are times when I get tired of it. I am sometimes needed by others so much that I am unable to take time to care for my own needs. I like to be the first choice but usually I don't want to be the only choice. Most of the time I'm needed too much so I guess I would have to say that I dislike it.
Seeker - I understand those feelings. I am married, I have my own house, I still feel quite stuck at times. The feelings come and go though. They are worse when I can't even find a sitter for a couple hours.
I really like for an employer to 'need' me. When I find a job position, my first goal in my job is to fill all possible needs for me and to learn things that no one else is able or has time to do so that I'm indispensible. I've yet to be fired and I was only laid off once and asked back again later. Need can be a good thing in the right place.
