1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: How do you know if you have a needy partner?

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: It's a jew will show.

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes it's very obvious, right, and sometimes you

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: might wonder if it's just you who thinks they're needy,

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: because every time they're like, hey, I like you, you're like,

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: get off gross Victoria. Well, there's one psychologist whose study

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: is going viral about signs that your partner is needy.

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: So here are the top signs that they say you

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: can tell if your partner is needy.

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Okay, they act jealous or possessive.

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 2: They say, it's okay to feel jealous from time to time,

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: Yet consistent jealousy and possessiveness are surefire waste to damage

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: trust in a relationship. This could range from discouraging friendships

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: to monitoring your texts or repeatedly accusing you of flirting

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: and innocent scenarios. I would go on to say, that's

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: also kind of abusive.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know that I would call that

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: needy so much, don't think. Yeah, jealousy and needy are

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: too like different emotions.

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, ironically, your partner might suffer from jealousy due to

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: the fear that you'll break their true but in reality,

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: the lack of trust they have in you is what ultimately.

23
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Drives you away.

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: Trapped because you're being surveiled all the time. Trust me,

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: I've been there, But why do you Why do you

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: stay in those moments?

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Why do I?

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, any I mean for you, I mean anybody

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: might relate to that. But if you know you're being

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: surveiled like that, why.

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Do you stay?

32
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: Because well, it used to be because that's what I

33
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: knew from relationships for me as a child, and then

34
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: grew up and I was an enabler, so I made

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: it okay instead of being like, hey, not.

36
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: Cool, Yeah, I actually think it's a love. Yeah, exactly,

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Actually, yeah, you are the love.

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: You taps into the fear from your childhood and then

39
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: you just stay because you're scared and you don't even

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: know it. But anyway, I've since learned my lessons since

41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: that time, so yeah, that's fun. Now i'd be like, hey, man,

42
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: get here, not cool. Here is another sign. They say

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: that you can tell if your partner's needy. They watch

44
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: your every move. Also kind of creepy in that one,

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: but they say, similar to blowing up your phone, needy

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: partner might also watch your every move.

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: It could range from going through.

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: Your email, just stalking your social media activity, and even

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: checking your location constantly. Again, if you haven't betrayed them

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: or broken their trust, the behavior is just isn't warranted

51
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: or healthy.

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if it's a needy list. Just function.

53
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: Usually means that you want their attention, right, not that

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: you're trying to completely under like, uncover everything they're doing,

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: control everything.

56
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: Here's another one. They lean on you for everything. It

58
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: says life is hard enough, so when you're dating someone

59
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: who constantly relies on you for practically everything, it can

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: feel draining. From emotional support to decision making, planning, and

61
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: even chore completion. A needy partner's lofty expectations can make

62
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: them seem more like a child than a significant other.

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: Okay, now this is needy.

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a good example of what would be

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: qualified as needy.

66
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 3: I will say, this conversation is making me feel very

67
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: less needy than I thought I was.

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: So guess what not needy?

69
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: Healthy?

70
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: Over here?

71
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: That's going viral about how you can tell if your

72
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: partner is needy. They disregard your boundaries. Says you should

73
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: be allowed and even encouraged to have boundaries in your relationship.

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: Yet needy partners often have trouble respecting them. Perhaps you

75
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: value personal space, but they keep barging in and intruding

76
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: your alone time, or they may try to interfere in

77
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: your outside relationships and isolate you from other people in

78
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: your life. Again the isolation part, Yeah, that moves into

79
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: the abusive territory. This says, regardless of I was done,

80
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: boundary crossing is a major red flag.

81
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: I've experienced a lot of this too, and I think

82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: part of it might be just being young, and you know,

83
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: you haven't dealt with your own issues, so you're not

84
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: aware of what you're feeding into, and so you find

85
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: yourself in these situations where you're feeling guilty about wanting boundaries.

86
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

87
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like now as you get older, you're like, oh, no,

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 4: it's okay to not have somebody reading every text that

89
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: you sent for the day, find out what you were

90
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,279
Speaker 4: saying to your cowork.

91
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: You feel bad because you want them to be happy,

92
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: so you allow them to intrude on your boundary. When

93
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: you have to learn to be okay with having a

94
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: boundary and then being perfectly okay, if someone is upset

95
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: about that body.

96
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: And creating trust where you can have that boundary and

97
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: still trust each other.

98
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ever going to be okay.

99
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: If you're somebody is upset about the boundary, you got

100
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: to have a conversation about the boundary.

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to sleep. If you're mad at

102
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: me for having a boundary, we're having a conversation.

103
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: They need constant validation. That's another way to tell if

104
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: someone's needy.

105
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: On this list that are needed.

106
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: Someone struggles with anxiety or not. We can all use

107
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: a bit of research from time to time, but it's

108
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: not fair to burden your significant other with constant demands

109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: on your for validation.

110
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah that sounds but if you're like this is cute, right,

111
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: or you still love me?

112
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: Right? If I was a butterfly, you would I'm still.

113
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: Now. And the number one thing they say you can

114
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: tell if you have a needy partner is they blow

115
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: up your phone constantly. Even though communication forms the backbone

116
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: of stable relationships, it's totally possible to go overboard too.

117
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: If you're at work with families, spending time with friends,

118
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: and your partner just starts bombarding you with text or

119
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: calls to sign that they're needy. Plus if you don't

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: get back to them right away, they become upset or angry.

121
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you're the person who is blowing up

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: my phone, what do you think that's making me feel like?

123
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Other than please stop blowing up my phone?

124
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: Right?

125
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: Do you also not get the vibe I'm not vibuing

126
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: with that? Do you realize you're being annoying?

127
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: Self awareness?

128
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: Usually you know, because anxiety takes over your body at

129
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: that moment.

130
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: But yeah, usually those type of people that will do

131
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: that are the type of people that if you blow

132
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: up their phone, they'd be mad at you. K
