The word 'need' derives from the Middle English work
nede, the Anglo-Saxon nead, and the Indo-European term nauto, which mean to collapse with
weariness. In English it mainly means necessity; compulsion; obligation; something utterly
required for life and happiness.
Your demand that every important person love you creates a perfectionistic, unattainable goal. If
you could get ninety-nine people to love you, you will always encounter the hundredth that
doesn’t. Some, because of their own limitations, will have little ability to love anyone. Others
will disapprove of you for reasons entirely beyond your control. Still others will despise you
forever because of some prejudice against you.
