Needy people often attract Narcissists who reinforce their neediness

Needy people often attract dates or friends who reinforce their neediness— people who crave connection, just like everybody else, but seem loathe to express the desire (they’re often avoidant). If your fear is the phone will stop ringing if you don’t call, ask yourself, am I the one who always seeks contact or reassurance? Am I OK with that?
