What causes someone to act needy?

@Miram But, how does being needy solve that feeling of being abandoned or the fear of it... or anything else?

@MarkPaul It doesn't. We don't feel neediness because it's a solution. It's a consequence. It's not a problem too unless you're acting too much on it and it affects other people.
I guess to work on it when it's a problem, you'll have to address the reason and learn to regulate it. You have to take responsibility and be ready to change.

@dreamsicle The obvious answer usually spells ______. [Don't say it]

@MarkPaul I’m thinking it real hard though!

@dreamsicle 😱 Oh no!

@SpaceCreature You mean, in general?

@Caprice So, looking for someone else to fulfill something missing?

@MarkPaul exactly

@SW-User How does being needy solve that?

@MarkPaul trying to get the person you want, show you love. Sending signals.

@SW-User From what?

Not feeling loved or wanted

@MethDozer Hmmmmm. 🤔
