Any good books on being needy?

[NewPhillyGuy]

I've been doing alot of reflection since my last breakup, and have come to realize that I AM needy in my relationships. Now that I have come to this realization, I'm trying to figure out how to work on this.

 

Does anyone know of any good books about being needy in relationships?

No, but I think once you learn to love YOU, you won't be so needy.

I know b/c you and I are the same person

 

A good book I'm reading now is on Self Esteem. When you built your esteem, you become less "needy"

 

this is the book. It's really helping me

Strange as this might sound, I was reading this book on emotional abuse and how having a personality disorder can contribute to it. I don't think I have a personality disorder and I don't think I'm emotionally abusive, but for some reason, something just clicked in my head and I realized some of the needy and manipulative things I did in my last relationship. I also started to think about some of the things I did in past relationships. Need to work on this stuff...

I feel what you're saying...Something is missing from within us so we are seeking it out in our gf/bf. Expecting someone else to fill a void that only we really can. So hard.
