Why are we girls so terrified of being called needy, whiney, sensitive, emotional, or crazy? Just because someone is too lazy to give you what you need in certain times does NOT mean that you are one of these adjectives. Even if you are being one of them, it’s not a bad thing.

We’re all human. We all have needs. We cannot read minds, and so sometimes we have to ask for things like support, time, togetherness, change, etc.

Also, there are cases when there are things we cannot physically say that are the driving force for our neediness, whininess, sensitivity, and craziness. Just know that if I hint that I need to spend more time with you, there’s an actual, important reason behind it. Trust me, if you sincerely asked me to be with you, I’d hop right into the car.

Personally, I’m falling apart. People do this from time to time. I’m confused about so much, and I need support. I don’t feel like I can voice these concerns I have — because I’m afraid to be called needy, whiney, sensitive, emotional, or crazy. It’s a great defense mechanism, because I will most definitely back off. This backing off, of course, leads to much more stressful confusion.

Whether I ask you to come to a play with me (I asked about a hundred people to come with me, but ended up going alone) or to talk to me on the phone for a little while…it’s important. Your just being there helps me; you don’t even have to discuss my stupid problems with me.

This dumb plea is for everyone and about everyone. Open your damn eyes.
