Is Being Needy a Bad Thing? A Look at Attachment in Relationships. Smitten: Why is spousal support so important to both men and women, and what does it do for us? In our society there's a misconception about gender: We tend to ascribe avoidant tendencies to men and anxious qualities to women.
But research shows that the majority of men and women are secure. And that we ALL need support. The fact is that when we become attached we become one psychological and physiological unit with our partner—that's just our biology.
That's why having a good relationship has tremendous benefits both psychological and physical. When someone is in a good long-term relationship, being close to this person triggers the release of endorphins in our body.
It also decreases the release of various stress hormones which helps our blood pressure and heart rate go down and has profound soothing effects on our body. It's similar to the ongoing effects of rigorous exercise.

However, they often worry that their partner doesn't want to be as close as they would like to be and can be very sensitive to small fluctuations in their partner's mood or behavior and are on the lookout for signs of rejection. People with an Avoidant attachment style feel a strong need to maintain their independence.
And although they want to be in a relationship, they tend to send mixed signals and keep their partner at arm's length. Isn't this fascinating? Don't you feel better after reading this?

Nowland stressed the importance of understanding that other people might not be able to meet our needs. Sometimes, people attract partners who mirror their deepest fears.
Nowland shared these examples: You want to make plans with your partner. They tell you, however, that they prefer to be spontaneous. Which leaves you feeling uneasy. Your partner prefers to keep others at a distance. According to Nowland, the relationship dynamic might also be the cause when a person has a secure sense of self.
What does a secure sense of self look like? Again, neediness is not some flaw or defect. Can we pick another one? Can we look at a day that suits us both? Lastly, pay attention to the words you use, Nowland said. This makes it feel permanent and fixed.
