Expressing Needs in Intimate Relationships
- Express your needs, especially the scary ones, to fulfill them and build intimacy.
- Unexpressed needs create barriers in relationships.
Negative Associations with Needs
- Expressing needs is often seen negatively, associated with neediness and selfishness.
- This negative association makes expressing needs difficult and can provoke the opposite reaction.
Expressing Needs as Gifts
- Express needs as a gift, not a demand, showing you want the other person to respond willingly.
- Ensure they understand you only want them to fulfill the request if they can do so joyfully.
