Monthly Insight
Professional Op-Ed
Is it Me?
Emotional Neediness and Relationships
Sometimes it seems like your relationship needs are not being met. When this happens, it is not always easy to know whether you have legitimate concerns or whether you are being petty, juvenile, intense, etc. All of us have emotional needs - when do legitimate emotional needs become neediness?
Neediness is characterized by placing too much importance on one person or relationship, which causes us to make too many demands on them. If you are feeling like you constantly chase someone for closeness with no reciprocity from their end, you may be playing a needy role in the relationship.
If you think you might be acting needy, take a good look at the feelings you're having. What scares you about being alone, or being without this person/relationship? Are your beliefs about your need for this person/relationship realistic? Are you being reasonable about what you think they owe you?
Think about ways that you can nurture yourself rather than looking to others. Broadening your social circle is a good way to make sure you are not too dependent on any one person or relationship. Focusing on your own personal growth will help you tone down pursuing behaviors.
Finally, consider whether your feeling of neediness may signal an unhealthy dependence on this person/relationship. If that is the case, it may be wise to leave the relationship and seek one where your healthy and realistic emotional needs will be better met.
