he is a self-professed “loner” who seems to not need much of anyone or anything when he is on his own. He swims and writes music and records basically. I am pretty opposite to that. I’ve come to appreciate alone time much more than I ever have but I still prefer the company of others to my own if given a choice 90% of the time.
Sounds less like a neediness issue and more like and introvert/extrovert issue. And introvert and an extrovert can get along fine so long as they understand each others needs and the extrovert gets their people needs met elsewhere. Introverts recharge by being alone and extroverts recharge by being with people.
