0:00.0	Hi everybody. Welcome to the women's dating and confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today we're
0:15.5	going to be talking about neediness and desperation in dating and relationships.
0:23.2	So before we get started with that, I just want to apologize if the audio is a little bit off today. My microphone has been acting up the last few weeks,
0:28.9	and today it finally broke when I tried to use it. So I'm using my backup mic, and hopefully you can
0:35.4	still enjoy this podcast, but it might sound a little bit different

1:46.9	So I'll tell you the right answer.
1:50.8	Neediness is an emotion, and emotions are caused by thoughts.
1:58.1	So when it comes to dating and relationships, neediness is not coming from an actual need.
2:00.2	It's not coming from a gap.
2:03.8	It's not coming from insufficiency in the relationship or you not getting something that you need. It's coming from a belief that there's
2:10.0	something missing, that you need something from this person, that you need them to react in a
