How do I stop being so needy?

1

I’ve lost many people in my life, friends, boyfriends, all because I’m too depressed and too needy, I put too much pressure on them and it’s true I do, I’m in this cycle were I depend on them too much and I don’t know how to get out of it. They always leave and I’m left with no one, it kills.

You know, different people are compatible in different ways. I think if your friends and boyfriends or girlfriends find you too needy, then boo on them. You don't need to change yourself for them. If you feel you're in a cycle of dependence, maybe learning how to be by yourself will break that cycle, and teach you to love yourself and accept yourself so you don't need the approval of others to live your life. Do what you do best: be yourself. Sooner or later someone will come along who appreciates you exactly the way you are. If you want to call someone, call them. You want to text someone, text them. You are an awesome person and if they can't see that, you don't need them in your life. Love yourself. That's really all any of us needs.

You DON'T have to stop being needy because of other people, I completely agree with what Kate said, and I just wanted to add that it was just unfortunate that your "ex-friends" and ex-boyfriends made you think the issue was you being needy, but it's not... being needy is not a problem, if they truly loved you they would've given you just even more attention knowing that you are needy. You just need to find someone who will love you just the way you are and will like the fact that you are needy and will depend on him "too much", somebody you can rely on and will always be there for you.

For me, it took getting dumped by my long distance ex after her cheating with multiple guys. And when you do get the urge, just do things to distract yourself. I find gaming and reading helps me when I get that feeling. Something to take your mind off that feeling. Text hug stay strong.
