The Addiction to Being Needed

This episode of Soft But Savage Diaries explores the psychological urge to feel needed rather than loved, and how this can lead to overextending ourselves for validation and a sense of safety. It challenges listeners to break the cycle of people-pleasing, embrace healthy relationships based on mutual respect and desire, and shift from seeking usefulness to seeking alignment and self-care.
