Your problem isn't that you're too needy; it's that you're not needy enough. Years of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps have taught you to be resilient and self-sufficient.

However, this can become an unintentional distancing mechanism when you're bonding with a romantic partner. People need to feel needed – otherwise they don't stick around. It's a hard lesson to absorb, but it's never too late to teach an old goat new tricks.
