I have needs?

[martian]

I listened to a podcast where a guy said emotions point towards needs.
It sounds so alien to me that it might be true, what do you think?

I mean, I don't need anything.
If I don't have any food I don't eat no big deal, there are so many people who have less so I'm not in need.
I don't need compassion I've been without long enough to survive without it.
And so on, this list goes on forever.
I do feel like I need to stop starting sentences with I.

So how do you find out what you need?

Some are universal...

And bodies break when without them for Xth amount of time.

I mean sure. I don't *need* oxygen. But my brain might wee bit disagree very fast.

Do you see where the problem with that is?
These needs ARE real.
The trauma induced -beliefs- about them, and how not needed they are - are what's false.

I need what I’d die, without.

I want everything else / what I love, like, & am inspired by / what makes me more... me.

I have a hard time wanting things. So, when I can want things? I tend to sink into my own particular brand of hedonism like a hot spring. So that I can remember, seize the edges of it, revel down to my fingertips, and be okay returning to it.

I have a need to feel safe, which is a big part of why I've lived in Maine, United States for most of my life (the crime rate is low in Maine).
