people talk about needs. in relationships, in work, at home, and most generally in life. if you're starting a new job a kind employer might remark that you should let them know if you have any needs
almost always the term need comes unqualified: you are asked if you "have needs", not if you "have needs to feel safe" or to be productive or to be happy. which is funny, because there is no such thing as an unqualified need: everything you need you need for something.
anyway, my question: when you (reader) talk about needs in interpersonal relationships, you mean needs to what? to be safe? to grow? to be happy? to feel loved? to simply not feel crippled by your emotions? perhaps you don't know? perhaps you intentionally leave it open, so that the need-haver may decide for themselves? perhaps you feel my question is mistaken?
