    Default looking for a word

    Hello,

    I'm looking for a word that defines someone who needs attention from someone else. Someone that shows sadness when have no one to care about him/her. Someone who sometimes is hard to deal with because needs constant attention.

    Thanks.

    Thank you all, "insecure and needy person" is what I mean I guess!

    WordNet - Cite This Source - Share This needy
    adjective

    2. demanding or needing attention, affection, or reassurance to an excessive degree
