Meeting our needs

We, as humans, have needs. Healthy human relationships partially fill these needs. That is why it is so essential to cultivate these healthily. Part of ensuring a relationship is healthy is to be sure that we are meeting our needs, without being needy. When we are needy, that is a perceived flaw by the other person. Even if it is not seen as a flaw, it can undoubtedly lead to dependence, which stifles a relationship at best.
