What is Need? Continued

It is interesting how people perceive need.  Should a woman be seen as more masculine if she is self-sufficient?  It seems for me, that is how I am perceived.  Hmmm.... strange.  I am still trying to wrap my head around that one.  I have always felt that if I had to wait for someone to do stuff for me, it would never get done.  I am usually not at the top of anyone's priority list.

So now I am thinking...do I "need" a support structure?
