I’m not typically a needy person. I have lived on my own for many years. I manage all of my life. I manage my school. I deal with things that need to be dealt with on my own.

Except…

Except when I’m in a relationship. All of a sudden, I become extremely needy. I need to hear from the person at least once a day or I freak out in the weirdest ways.

I don’t rant and rave against the person. I just start thinking…and thinking…and thinking. And I worry. And I stress. And I start to wonder what is going on.

It’s the oddest behavior and I don’t really understand where it comes from.

I can have the busiest day in the world and I can still freak out.

It’s starting to bother me.

It’s starting to freak me out.
