When you feel the need to be needed, it is the human need to survive:
We are social creatures, and so the feeling of not being needed is the feeling of impending death, and of sometimes others wishing your decease.
I can’t speak myself to the need to have love as an addiction. More as a human necessity.
So live on desires and needs:
Needs are self destructive if the case is that we don’t want to admit them as ours.
We all want to survive, it is human nature.
But it is with more foresight, and therefore more Godlike: to plan for that which is for our greater good — we affirm our Godlike image in this way then.
