To me, needy is someone who just sits back & takes all that anyone will do for them, & it's never enough. They only want more & more from you until you have nothing left to give, while never even trying to help themselves. Like, they WON'T try, not because they can't try, but because they want someone else to fix everything for them & put fourth no effort of their own, & have little to no regard for the people who are helping them. (I'm sorry, this is more of a rant! I know people like this who make me feel very USED! And this (needy) is how I describe them.)
