Need/no need isn't black and white. At least to me it isn't.
I think that it is only human to need people. We aren't robots, and we don't live in Stepford. I see it (trying "I" statements) as only unhealthy if you aren't ever available to be needed, or if you "neeeeeeeed" a particular person.
Does anyone ever truly want to be "saved?" The idea of it speaks to the scared child in all of us, but wouldn't we actually rather be nurtured? And to nurture others? Then instead of the need to be saved, we would actually have nothing to fear.
