Isn't it nice when people need you and treat you like you're the most important person in their lives? When friends need me I feel like they value me, it just makes me feel that i'm loved. For me it's not only important that people want you in their lives or they love you. It also matters to me that i'm needed. In that way i feel secure that they will never ever let me go.

Glad to hear that you are wanted. I think that it's important for us to feel that we are truly needed. When others show that they care about us and our advice it does make us feel special. We are then able to accomplish a lot because our self esteem is so much higher.

I also think that most people do want to be loved and care in life and most probably I also think that when we feel wanted in life by others our self-esteem will increase.

@toniganzon I hope that things in your relationship are still going very well. It is a beautiful thing when we know that we have someone who deeply cares for us. I'm happy for you and hope that you are still enjoying your relationship.

Every one feels the need to be wanted by the people in our lives. This gives us a sense of purpose. No one wants to be overlooked and treated as if they are good for nothing and thus the excitement that children at times feel when there parents make them feel that they are better at something than their siblings.

Hi toni! It certainly gives us a kind of high and a kind of boost when others (read friends) make us feel that we are important for them and we are needed by them. The feeling that we are 'special' gives us a kind of happiness, which is beyond words. Each one of us wants to be recognized and acknowledged and when we are loved and valued by others, we feel on cloud nine.

It's not about the looks i think. I never saw myself as physically beautiful and people around me don't often see me like that as well. Beauty is subjective so some friends don't see me as physically attractive but just kind. When i choose friends i never looked at the way they look. I always try to see what's inside.

It is. I felt it when most of my friends seemed to depend on me on certain things which they had no skill in. I thought everybody wanted me so bad. I was great. You are lucky if you always feel that way.

There was a moment in my life where i felt neglected. I was so lonesome. It lasted for a year. I isolated myself from people. Then i started using my smart phone and i interacted with so many people with different cultures. It was fun and i've learned a lot.

No. I was away from my friends and they've never set me a message until I came back on Facebook and they saw me again.

I also think it is important how the people treat others in the life. There is an old proverb treat others as you like to be treated. I have also found out in life that with some people I will be very happy and with some people I do not. I think it is how they treat them and make them feel. I think some people make us feel secure and will never let us go in our live and do really care for us.

You are so right. We need to treat others how we want to be treated. There are some people though that are just really so kind and their kindness is very contagious.

Being wanted and being needed means you have to extend your hand to help them and i just can't refuse a friend. But of course there are certain limitations to that.

Well, my dear friend, your reasoning, I think, is more than correct. Even I often feel useful to others, I like helping people who need, and for this I have often appreciated. But beyond the "praise", is certainly not the only reason that I feel satisfied! We are all useful, but not always indispensable! So I wish to be appreciated on the one hand, but in things, or in aid that I can give to other people, my gratitude is already in the act of love that I do for them!

Everyday you surprise me friend. You have improved a great deal in responding to discussions. Wishing you happiness always in life. Have a great day!

i'm very fussy about friends.. and i live in a place where it's all about image etc, and people are fickle and nasty here sometimes, and it's hard to find good decent friends. but the friends i do have, i make sure they know how much i value them. i'm glad your friends value you, it shows you are a good person :)

It is nice to feel appreciated by others. It's always a pleasure to help others in need. The title misled me a little you could have been wanted for other things :)). I'm glad you have friends and you feel good about wanting to help them. I know the feeling and I would help my friends anyway I can if and when they ask for it

If you know me well, i'm fond of playing games with the title. I like misleading and surprising people and if you have read one of my discussions i like messing up people's brain.

Feeling of getting valued is always a blessing but expecting to be valued is always pain . So if your getting import and in people life that's really appreciate able ,this gives you a reason for happy cherished life but never ever expect too much importance because if you won't get it then it will really hurt.

That i would never expect. I usually don't expect anything from people. I've been hurt by friends once so i guess they weren't real friends.
