spikes because they know that there is someone who can immediately fulfill it. People depend on you because they can. Its as simple as that. And it's easier to depend on/call on you than to call on the person who should take care of the need. ie themselves, their significant other, etc ..<BR/><BR/>There is a fine line between need and depend.

When someone need something they feel it is required and without it they would be in a really big jam. I agree with you a hundred percent about needy people. Most are so concerned with their own wants and desires that they are usually neglecting the needs of others. I believe people tend to always depend on the person(s) that have been consistent with helping them and they know that it is likely they will help them out again because they have proven to be reliable. If your son's mother is not asking another man it's probably because either he isn't reliable or she doesn't feel they are close enough yet to ask him for whatever it is she need. I think you should feel good that people depend on you because that says you are a very good man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-69241150049369667802008-08-20T10:16:00.000-04:002008-08-20T10:16:00.000-04:00Hmm thats interesting.

Needing is a must have..here lies no option. Honestly I depend on my hubby to do what he is suppose to do as a man. Do I need him to do it, no. It does make my life easier but it is not a necessity.

And often don’t even see that others may need to depend on them, or that others have needs equally or as urgent as theirs. So not to be political, what is the differences between need and depend, and who do you need, and who can you depend on through thick and thin?"<BR/><BR/>I have been very independent but I'm there for my friend providing for my friends but when i need someone to talk to..they aren't there. when i need a hand...no one to be found but if they call...I'm right there...they know that they can depend on me. I know that I can't depend on any of them. That's why I had resolved to find new friends after this past weekend.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692204739991747648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-51627254932474750302008-08-20T06:26:00.000-04:002008-08-20T06:26:00.000-04:00Well done, mate.

God appointed you to assist those who will need you the most. Thank God that these people think of you at their most needed time. Although, you may feel a bit used...think of it as a true blessing. <BR/><BR/>There are many people that are able to assit those but yet refuse to do so. When it comes a time that they would need someone...who can they call? All of the ones that they disappointed, God, who? Just remember for every one that you bless...GOD has given you two more blessings.<BR/><BR/>Stay true to yourself and never ask why your close ones need you...only ask why they ask you sooner.....;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-43843308719639931272008-08-19T19:23:00.000-04:002008-08-19T19:23:00.000-04:00Oh, boi...I sooooo feel you on this post.

I love that people reach out to me when they are in need - I mean, I want to help when I can. But when it's too many and too often then there is a problem. When they lean on you TOO much then you are actually not helping them, you are stunting their growth. And so I remind myself of this and I am getting better and better at helping them help themselves :)T.

I don't think I need anyone really because I have trained myself to only depend on me and if I can't manage to meet my own needs, then perhaps I don't need said things."<BR/><BR/>That's exactly how I feel about needs for me most of the time. If I can't do it myself, attain it myself, take care of it myself, then do I really need it? Or possibly am I just afraid that the person I need won't be there for me and fear being rejected. <BR/><BR/>When it comes to my son - it's another story. He can count on me for anything and everything. But his father... the MAN... the one that's supposed to be teaching him to be a strong man...He can't depend on him for anything but dissappointment.RunningMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611815972608970042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-62552519492238081042008-08-19T06:41:00.000-04:002008-08-19T06:41:00.000-04:00These words have so many angles of need / depend a...These words have so many angles of need / depend angles. Financially, Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually.<BR/><BR/>During my divorce from my ex, I learned quickly who I could depend on in my time of emotional, financial, mental, and spiritual need. All the posers disappeared quickly.<BR/><BR/>To depend on someone is to have faith that they will be there when you "need" them to catch you. As stated above, too often these words "need and depend" are used to fill in for "want and use."Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014740550412286401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-46731592495886698952008-08-18T23:59:00.000-04:002008-08-18T23:59:00.000-04:00Wow, there are some really great comments here.You...Wow, there are some really great comments here.<BR/><BR/>You are blessed to be in a position to help, and to be someone people can count on. <BR/><BR/>And clearly, you're not going to let anyone walk all over you.<BR/><BR/>It brings with it responsibility, but it also feels so good to have people who depend on us, to "be needed," you could say. We all have a need to be needed. If other people didn't need us, what would be the point of living? That's one reason the elderly who have pets are happier and live longer than those without; they feel (and are) needed, at least by the pet.Waiting for Zufan!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00251869333168942963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-77300121457347884362008-08-18T22:31:00.000-04:002008-08-18T22:31:00.000-04:00Need and dependability seems to be a balancing act...Need and dependability seems to be a balancing act. Folks who appear to be the most needy also appear to be the least dependable. If you are capable of handling your own business most of the time, you will be less needy of others. And when you can handle your own business you can depend on yourself, thus having less need for others.<BR/><BR/>The "need/dependability" balance flows into business. Management knows dependable folks to seek when there is a need to be met. It would not be beneficial to seek a resolution from a known non-dependable source.<BR/>The other day, I got a call from my previous manager. There had been a "tennis match" going on where no end in sight. She asked for my input, I gave it directly. Next day, I found out that my response resolved the issue. The sad part of this is that I had previously gave the same response to my successor, but it was "lost in translation".<BR/><BR/>This also flows into sales as in your shop. You want your customers to know to depend on you to supply their product needs at a reasonable cost. If so, they would come to your shop first.<BR/><BR/>This is more than I planned to respond tonight. It's time for more self-medication. Just be aware that in your greatest need you may be surprised who comes your way.<BR/><BR/>Example: On the morning when the tornado(s) ripped through my area of town on Mother's Day, I was pleasantly surprised who the first person to contact me. Since the cell service was horrible, my friend tracked down my home number. She called daily to check on us and was my lifeline to the outside world. I did not hear from my "girls" until I was able to get out and return back to work.<BR/><BR/>Being a dependable responsible person is admirable. Accept it, be thankful, and move on. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I am not at 100% yet; hopefully in a few days.Sista GPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782105568336804901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17646926.post-18203319622502891822008-08-18T20:40:00.000-04:002008-08-18T20:40:00.000-04:00You're a great person, father, and friend so I see...You're a great person, father, and friend so I see why people in your life tend to depend/need you...<BR/><BR/>I learned at a very young age not to depend or need anyone.
