I have read and probably written many times on here about " feeling like I'm being needy"; "fear of being too needy"; "not wanting to appear needy". I told my T that I feel like an endless pit of neediness.

What does being "needy" mean to you?

My T had a very simple definition of "being needy". It of course has left me with more questions which should be expected..it's therapy. My T said "neediness" is expecting other people to do for you that which you can do for yourself

What do you think of that definition? What are something's we can't "do for ourselves"? I'm having a hard time thinking of anything. Of course there are things that are too heavy for me to lift or carry. Things I couldn't do without right equipment but I could hire people to do that...tree trimmers, etc. but what else is there?
