Useful? Heroic?

I heard a Ricky Skaggs  - Sharon White song about, "If I needed you would you come to me?"

One phrase, "I would come to you... I would swim the sea" made me think.

Most people I need don't need to swim the ocean.  I need to have them listen and hear me.

I need people to find out what I need, and provide that, rather than what they think I need, or they want me to need.

I need people to respect me enough to set boundaries and communicate what the boundaries are for and what makes them need those boundaries.

I need people to value me even whey they disagree with me.

Well, you get the picture.  Someone who will do the heroic gesture and then ignore me won't really meet my needs.

What about yours?  Leave a comment and let us know what you need, and what you think of these kinds of things.
