*bump*
I just wanted to comment that i've changed since i started this thread a year ago And it's interesting to me to see my own personal progress.
There is a clear difference between someone "needing" you and someone "wanting" you.
I don't think I like to be needed anymore, a year ago, I think I was going through a period in my life, where I needed to be needed, but i've certainly changed when it comes to that and now I don't really want or appreciate that kind of dependency 24/7... Now, sure there are still times when it's healthy and important to need people. When I have something going on and I need the people in my life to be my support system, I do need them during those moments.
But I do still like to be 'wanted.' And I love when the people I care about in my life "want" me on all those different levels.
To be wanted is a positive thing, i think we can all agree on that.
Anyone else have any thoughts to offer on this? Do you still feel the same way as when you posted a year ago? Any New members wish to comment on this topic?
