Do you distance yourself from...

@JaggedLittlePill I would suggest it's someone who perhaps wears their heart on their sleeve, shares each and every problem with others, needs affirmation in everything they do, needs more than the occasional 'hug', and, well, sometimes just needs to RTFM of life...

@Valentine interesting. I would think all of those things are generally what anyone would want.

Why is wearing your heart on your sleeve needy or high maintenance. Why is telling people your issues considered needy or high maintenance.

This is the real issue...

Telling people that their basic needs are high maintenance....

@JaggedLittlePill I am not an expert, but like with everything, there has to be a balance?

@Valentine In your definition i am needy and high maintenance. My needs are basic. I have a Heart and I dont need a manual I have probably learned far more than you in far shorter time.

@JaggedLittlePill We will compare notes somehow, someday, I'm sure. Take care.
