Is better to be needed, wanted or both?

[Anonymous]

Need implies some sort of dependance. And that dependance is what fuels the relationship.

Want implies that each individuals could be on their own, but for some reason they chose to be together. That something is what fuels the relationship.

Or both. There is dependance and also that something to fuel the relationship.

Needed

Wanted

Both

when your wanted others socially desire your presence when your needed it just means if someone accepted your presence in their life it would improve it but it dont mean that your wanted and if your not bein involved in someone's life on a personal level is really a waste of time

I much prefer wanted. I like a partner who can stand on her own, who isn't dependent on me, nor I on her, but we make the choice to share our lives. I'd rather not be with someone who simply needs to be supported and I'm a potential candidate.

If I am in a relationship I want it to be because he wants to be with me, not because he needs something from me that he can't get somewhere else.

Wanted is far better. I’m needed at work and miserable.

[EmbraceThePain]

In a relationship? A healthy mixture of both is 100% needed

[OddBeMe]

I guess both. But I picked needed. Humans are like sharks. We gotta keep moving and producing to survive. Being needed is apart of that.

First and only one so far.

[OddBeMe]

Once we stop being needed we start dying.

[Asker]

Why?

[OddBeMe]

Because you’re irrelevant. Check out a hospice.

[Asker]

No you are not. If you are wanted you are not.

[OddBeMe]

Ehh, even loved ones go down hill fast once they stop working, ie, being needed.

[OddBeMe]

I guess we’re talking semantics. Want snd need are technically synonyms.

[Asker]

If someone wanted you before, for you and not your money, they won't leave just because you lost your job.

[OddBeMe]

I didn’t say they would. I’ve see lots of loved old people go downhill after they stop working.

I selected both. I think either one alone is not enough.

If they tell "I need you", their need is reduced to certain hours, but the truth is you're replaceable.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Wanted. Most people besides kids and sick elderly don't need someone. When someone desires you it makes it much better.

Need messes up relationships. Want doesn't

[karaspara]

Both. It's better to be required

[The_Outlaw]

Personally for me, it's both.
