Dad Starting Over

Why You Feel So Needy (And How to Stop)


Listen Later

Let’s talk about neediness — what it really is, where it comes from, and how to stop letting it ruin your relationships.

Neediness isn’t about “having needs.” It’s about trying to make one specific person fix your emotional state on demand. That’s not love — that’s panic.

I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening inside your nervous system when you feel desperate for someone’s attention or affection… and how to train yourself to stay calm, confident, and grounded instead.

We’ll cover:

  • The difference between connection and control
  • How “emotional hunger” tricks you into chasing validation
  • The 90-second anti-neediness drill you can do anytime
  • Why secure men build multiple emotional pillars
  • How to stop confusing gratitude with entitlement
  • And why self-respect kills desperation
