Free Neediness Checker
Mark Manson's Models explains neediness as over-investment in the outcome with one person (checking your phone for their messages, your mood depending on their reply, less focus on your own life). This checker asks five questions about how you think and behave when you're into someone. You get a result: balanced interest, leaning needy, or high neediness, plus a short tip (e.g. invest more in yourself, sit with uncertainty). Neediness isn't fixed. It's reduced by building a life you care about regardless of dating. The ConfidenceConnect app can support that.
