What we like is to share with others and if we truly care and love others, we willingly want to hear about them, genuinely listen and be there.
its not an absolute need in order to be happy. Wanting to share happy, joy, love is something else entirely.

To become dependent on the need for others to bring you happiness is like saying you've no happy in you to feel nor give, you need it from others to be able to give it.

you can do fine on your own. but when your world is now defined by someone else's ability to emerge feelings within you of happy or sad then it becomes a loss of your own mastery of your own self.meaning, your joy is easily gone as it is given because it's not your own. You've no mastery over yourself and all outside of you masters over you because it majorly effects you, dents you and controls you.

if you're not solid within, you'll crumble under anyones hands. because your happiness is in their hand along with your heart.

I love this! So very true.
