As humans, we are born needing and grow into our wanting.
Living as we do in a patriarchal capitalist dystopia that champions hyper independence, strategy over emotion, profit over people and bootstrap ethos, we are indoctrinated with the belief that need is shameful. We are taught that if we require something we cannot give ourselves we are not only left wanting, but perceived as weak.
In therapy I am learning to see neediness not as a pejorative but as self-aware and securely sought satisfaction. With this in mind and astrology as a guide, I bring you the neediest zodiac sign.
