Idk lol it's your friend not ours. How tf would we know. Some people like feeling needed. Some people like constant messaging. Some people care a lot. If someone likes/gets along with you the more likely they are to bear with negatives but not to everyone will it be a negative, some might like it or be indifferent.
Not saying being needy = gross AT ALL but I think I read somewhere that when people love someone they have much higher tolerance to grossness (think changing diapers, caring for someone while they are sick, vomit, etc...) and that's just how it works with anything, the closer you are to someone or the more they like you, the more they are willing to overlook negatives. But like I said, they might not even see it as a bad thing.
Example, I have a friend who's not pro choice (albeit has suicidal ideation too) but puts up with me when I get very suicidal and go on and on about how much I want to kms. We get along, we are close and she's mental health friendly and educated and we relate to each other and she cares. It's your friend mate. You tell us?
