    I, for one, appreciate your participation in this thread.

    I also meant it in a non-judgemental way. I'm talking about my father, crissakes, and I love him unconditionally.

    It's just difficult not to notice certain things about a person who's constantly draining you of energy because they need attention so much.

    That is all. Observational. Although I concurr with smiley that perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned his name. Oh well, what's done is done.

    Naked: stay cute.

    yeah, there is a question of 'neediness' and why it exists. Is it temporary? is it permanent?

    is it just because someone feels so utterly cut off from human contact that they 'need' a human presence for a while, or is it because they have a draining 'hole in the soul' so to speak?

    cate... i really hope i didn't offend you... i really only meant to compliment you, and somehow i think it came out wrong :rolleyes: yesterday was just a wierd day.

    prax... i was enjoying the thread too... then all of a sudden things got complicated... at least in my mind, and i took a break. but yeah... i understand where you're coming from with this issue. it's something i've been looking at within myself lately. i find myself getting annoyed at people for their neediness, or whatever other quality that i find difficult to be around, and then i'm starting to see at least deeply buried traces of those qualities in myself. it's quite the humbling and soul searching experience! :) hugs to you (it feels like you need a couple).

    *sheepish* if i don't keep eye contact with someone, i have a hard time understanding what they're saying. i'm not trying to dominate them, i'm trying to pay attention. my dad is an excessively loud mumbler. if you don't look him right in the eye, you'll have no idea what the fuck he's saying. it's a long-standing habit with me now.

    I feel like that too. But then again I feel like I know nothing about everything. I just enjoy it all...

    Hmmmm, I'm not sure if I'm needy or not. I would have to ask my wife and see what she says. Hell, maybe I am.
