Hugs @LonesomeTonight. I'd be asking myself those same questions if someone told me that. I don't know what is "too needy." In fact my Regular T and I were just talking last night about how when I was a child I wasn't allowed to have needs. I wasn't allowed to be angry, or sad, or cry, or be sick, or hurt. (Obviously I did sometimes get sick or hurt. But then my Mom just shipped me off to the neighbors--literally!) So my Regular T was like what are those needs that little you had that didn't get met, and how can we meet them now? I tell you this because I think having needs is okay. I have trouble myself needing something from someone but I am working on it. I think that needing other people is part of the human experience. Sure sometimes one person can't fill all the needs, but you should be able to express those needs in therapy of all places. I mean, isn't that part of it all? I don't have an answer for what "too needy" is but I think you're doing great just as you are. HUGS Kit
