Do you get the ick when they’re needy?

If someone else’s neediness gives you the ick, you might get curious: How do I treat my own needs? Having needs doesn’t make us flawed... It makes us Human. Often the part of us that judges someone else’s vulnerability is the same part that shames our own. So instead, we get to say: “Yes, I have needs. And so do you. And we’re still lovable.”
