What exactly does "needy" mean? How does a needy person behave? I hear this term a lot, and have a general idea of the concept, but would like to hear someone else define it.
I'd say attention, or someone who cannot be away from you. Like they have to be with you all the time. Companionship really. If you're liberated to your own personal space and freedoms, then a needy person is not what you want in a relationship.
only amateurs. i just picked that example because it was the most obvious, but sense of humor truly is the cliche response, and any observation of actual relationships will show that to not be true. then again, this also kind of proves my point. stand up comedians have a great sense of humor, and are often completely undatable. because sense of humor is not really as important as is claimed.
