We can't deny it that our True Happiness is our significant other. They bring happiness, meaning to our lives. as we grow older with him/her. It brings happiness that leads to be clingy. And being needy is part of the relationship. There are times that he need to go somewhere else to sustain your daily needs specially financial needs. And that's the time you feel needy. Want them to be with you. And for the desperate thingy? That would be a big issue! feeling, showing, or involving a hopeless sense that a situation is so bad as to be impossible to deal with.
