Would you rather be wanted or needed, and why?

'Needed' isn't always a good thing

Needed means the other person is co-dependent. I'll pass on that sort of relationship.

I think both are necessary but either can be handled in an obsessive way.

Wanted for sure. Wanted implies the other person chooses to have you in their lives because they value you. Needing means they might not value you but would use you for their own selfish purposes, not necesarily because they really want you there.

Would you rather be wanted or needed, and why? Can I have the latter? I already have the former.

It is refreshing to see that I am not always wrong. To me need implies a lack of choice, want implies a concious choice. When the need is gone so is the person. I am not so sure about the codependent label. That would only be true if each one needed the other.

Needed, can also mean, u r being valued by someone, who cares about u & might want u to be around. So that he/she can look after u. It's unconditional

Needing means they might not value you but would use you for their own selfish purposes, not necesarily because they really want you there. this was always a debate in my marriage. We each had different preceptions of the meanings and what we thought the other had or wanted.
