What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human. How do you know if you have a needy partner? It's a Jubal show.
What signs indicate that your partner might be needy?
I mean, sometimes it's very obvious. Right. Right. And sometimes you might wonder if it's just you who thinks they're needy because every time they're like, Hey, I like you. You're like, Oh, get off. Gross. Victoria. Well, there's one psychologist whose study is going viral about signs that your partner is needy. So here are the top signs that they say you can tell if your partner is needy. Okay. They act jealous or possessive. They say it's okay to feel jealous from time to time, yet consistent jealousy and possessiveness are surefire ways to damage trust in a relationship. This could range from discouraging friendships to monitoring your texts or repeatedly accusing you of flirting in innocent scenarios.
I would go on to say that's also kind of abusive. Yeah. I don't know that I would call that needy so much. I don't either. Dysfunctional. Jealousy and needy are two different emotions. Yeah. Ironically, your partner might suffer from jealousy due to the fear that you'll break their trust. But in reality, the lack of trust they have in you is what ultimately drives you away. Or it keeps you trapped because you're being surveilled all the time. Trust me, I've been there. But why do you stay in those moments? Why do I? Yeah, well, I mean, for you. I mean, anybody might relate to that. But if you know you're being surveilled like that, why do you stay? Because, well, it used to be because that's what I knew from relationships.
How can jealousy affect trust in a relationship?
Mom informed me as a child and then grew up and I was an enabler, so I made it okay. Instead of being like, hey, not cool. Yeah, instead of thinking it's wrong, you actually think it's a signal of love. Yeah, exactly. Okay, that makes sense, actually. Yeah, if they care where you are, they love you. taps into the fear from your childhood, and then you just stay because you're scared and you don't even know it, which is weird. But anyway, I've since learned my lesson since that time, so that's cool. Proud of you. So that's cool. Yeah, so that's fun. Now I'd be like, hey, man. Get out of here. Not cool. here is another sign they say that you can tell if your partner's needy they watch your every move uh also kind of creepy yeah that one but they say similar to blowing up your phone a needy partner might also watch your every move it could range from going through your email to stalking your social media activity and even checking your location constantly again if you haven't betrayed them or broken their trust the behavior is just isn't warranted or healthy
Yeah, I don't know if it's a needy list as much as a dysfunctional list. Yeah, none of this feels needy. It usually means that you want their attention, right? Not that you're trying to completely uncover everything they're doing. Control everything. Yeah, exactly. Here's another one. They lean on you for everything. It says, life is hard enough, so when you're dating someone who constantly relies on you for practically everything, it can feel draining. From emotional support to decision-making, planning, and even chore completion, a needy partner's lofty expectations can make them seem more like a child than a significant other. Okay, now this is needy. Yeah. That is a good example of what needy is. That one, I would say, would qualify as needy.
I will say, this conversation is making me feel less needy.
Thank you. That's good.
Than I thought I was. So guess what? Not needy. Healthy over here. A new study that's going viral about how you can tell if your partner is needy. They disregard your boundaries. Says you should be allowed and even encouraged to have boundaries in your relationship. Yet needy partners often have trouble respecting them. Perhaps you value personal space, but they keep barging in and intruding your alone time.
What are the implications of constant communication in relationships?
Or they may try to interfere in your outside relationships and isolate you from other people in your life. Again, the isolation part, that moves into the abusive territory. It says, regardless of how it's done, boundary crossing is a major red flag.
