I agree - it's impossible to know what you are truly needing without having a pretty rich inner emotional landscape with a lot of nuance.

For instance -

Needs: https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/needs-inventory

--

Yet the needs exist, are often projected onto others (partners, co-workers, kids, whole countries, etc) and then action is taken to try to get /them/ to meet needs that one doesn't even know they have. At best, this tends to be frustrating, at worst...well we can all look up the stats on violence perpetuated by people raised as men in the West versus people not raised as men.
