Do I make a pest of myself here, like I am in need of constant reassurance?

Please be honest, at times I feel like some puppy that follows around and gets constantly under foot. And, I've realized I do this in flesh and blood life as well.

Please don't feel inhibited if the answer is yes, I am just looking for ways to relate more appropriately with people, and no answer would offend me.

I would bet that, to varying degrees, we all look for reassurance, validation, recognition. NYC_SKP Jan 2013 #1

And I don't think that there's anything wrong with that!

If you need a little reassurance or validation, I'm glad to offer any I might have. You are good with me.
