Just curious
And is it bad?
What if both ppl in the relationship are ‘needy’ is it an unhealthy or ideal relationship for them two
I think most often in adult life, neediness comes from a lack of confidence. It’s nice if one’s weaknesses compliment each other in a relationship.

I’ve found some give some take. It’s not a bad thing. I tend to be a giver. My needs are easily met and I don’t really need much to keep me going. My ex wife was more of a taker. She was a bit of a mess but that was just her. There’s other things like whether your sexually or intellectually compatible as well. That stuff is important too so it’s not necessarily what a good relationship is about.
It’s not bad being needy or needing attention. It really isn’t in my book. We are who we are and I believe there’s many people out there who’d make a good match for me. It’s more a matter of finding them.

When I hear “needy” I think of a person who needs a lot of emotional support and attention. More than the regular person.
I’m interacting frequently with a person at work who strikes me as very needy.
He gives a lot of compliments and affection, and you can tell he has a hunger to be on the receiving end.
I don’t think two needy people would make a stable relationship.
Neediness can quickly turn a relationship toxic.
The needy person feels unloved for not having their many needs met, and the other person feels frustrated for always having to protect the needy’s emotions and having their boundaries and personal space overstepped.
Two needies in a relationship would probably become very codependent.

But if they are both needy they would understand each other.
My ex was needy. It was great.
Because I was needy too.
A needy adult is someone who needs financial or emotional help from either the government, charity organizations, counseling services, health organizations, and friends, family, partners, strangers and such.
Unfortunately, I am a needy adult.

What is the difference between needy and clingy? Is it the same?

According to Google, clingy is strictly about being too emotionally dependent.
Needy is just too dependent in general.
From my understanding

OK considering those definitions, my ex and I were actually not needy because we weren’t too dependent on each other
I have been needy in other circumstances though… It is not good really doesn’t feel good.
Because you want more than you are given usually.
It’s not a good place to be in.
