You feel like you aren't allowed to have them, because you weren't for a long time. Honestly, there are a lot of circumstances now where you're probably still better off pretending that you don't need anything.
Maybe I'm the only one who really gets it. If that's the case, that sucks. Whoever put it in your head that you're asking for too much, though...
I know. You're right. Sorry, I'm being a bit of an idiot today.
I wonder if that's part of why it bothered me, though... I think how much we need one another is a beautiful thing. I think that about all the people I love who need me. I'd never see it negatively.
I don't know if I'd have looked at it that way before. That it's beautiful, I mean. You're right though. When it comes to us, anyway, that's true.
I've seen needing others as ugly before too. I didn't want to need anyone. Maybe the person who told you that doesn't want to need anyone either. So, then, they would see it as a bad thing.
I don't think you need to spend any more of your time worrying about whether or not you're needy. What Dolph said was a mistake. That's why he apologized.
If you can't promise me anything else, promise you'll need me anyway.
[You can't need your own soul. It's just inherently there. And so, they both understand. Eren might give himself a little credit, just because Maruki mentioned it.]
If no one else, it makes sense I'd be helpful to you. Fine.

QUEEN YOU JUST DIIIIIIID

[This requires more information.]
What made you think of that? You never ask anyone for anything.
no subject
You know me better than anyone, so I wanted your take on it. If you said yes, I wouldn't be offended.
no subject
"Needy" isn't the word I'd use. You do have needs, though.
[Sorry. :(]
no subject
I see what you're saying, though. It's a little embarrassing to have it called out.

That's wrong.

[ And he'll continue to overthink it, but he's at least self-aware enough to know that's no one's fault but his own. ]
You're right, though. It's best to keep that sort of thing contained to few people and situations.
no subject
[He's no good at this.]
I don't think you should expose your vulnerabilities, but that doesn't mean never asking for what you want either.
[Now they're talking about wants too? Oof.]
I shouldn't give you too much shit though.
What's that thing you used to tell me all the time? You're "making progress".
no subject
Now you sound like a counselor!
Thank you, though. I appreciate that.
I appreciate you talking about this with me at all, actually. Which I now realize is quite a needy thing for me to do...
this is so fucking ywl I'm going to--
Talking to me isn't needy. There's nothing wrong with it, and I don't want you to hesitate for any reason.
You need me, don't you? I need you too.

That's just a guess, though.

Do you think Dolph doesn't want to need anyone?
no subject
Is Dolph the one that told you that?
no subject

I think needing others destroyed Dolph once. Maybe he was trying to protect you.
no subject
Anyhow, it's water under the bridge. It just gave me some valuable food for thought.
no subject
If you can't promise me anything else, promise you'll need me anyway.
no subject
At this point, I don't think I'll ever stop needing you. It's foundational to who we are, isn't it?

I do feel better. You're more helpful than I think you give yourself credit for.
do u wanna wrap? >:3c
