Being needed by those around you (if I have kids this could change) is stifling. If people need me, they are not really choosing to be with me, they are merely fufilling their needs which by definition require fufillment. It's something completely different and wonderful to be wanted.
Being thought of or chosen is a great feeling anytime, really.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
