Does that ever cross your mind? Where do we draw the line at being sad or needy, and just blaming it on basic human necessity?

I'm going to answer this in detail later on....
But i will say this now... As far as it takes.
Alright now that i'm in a break during my philosophy class, i can finally say what i wanted to.
Humans will go to any lengths they deem necessary to feel wanted. It's such an important feeling. There's no almost no point to life if they don't feel like they're somewhat important. Are they to blame? Not really because this is human nature at its most basic. However, there are lines that should never be crossed. Betrayal, humiliation, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, etc... There are just certain limits. And i fully believe that these limits are defined by the relationships one has in their life...
Plus, people have different ideas of 'want'.
For me personally, i want to feel wanted but only by specific people...
To me, it's not important to be wanted by the world. That doesn't matter because it places such a huge responsibility. You know in Spiderman how his grandfather says "with great power comes great responsibility"? That's what wanting to be wanted leads to in most cases... responsibility to all those that feel close to you. It makes it harder to walk away. You have to place their happiness above your own. So in the end, you kind of fade out.
Am i making ANY sense?

Your question is provocative, in many ways. I don't believe that it's an INNATE human need to be wanted. Yet, some do "blame" it on "...basic human necessity." That's fine, whatever works. I have never felt "needy." Nor to be "wanted." That isn't to say that I don't "value"--in all my relationships, the other person's respect, compatiability, communications & even love. (Many kinds of love.) I have no line to draw, since I don't seek the things you speak of. Being "sad' is an attitude that wastes life. If in ALL TRUTH, you like who you are, maintain your unique moral standards, are sensitive to the human community, are helpful when possible, & share the most important thing of all--humour--
people won't "need" or "want" you, they will quite simply LIKE you, (or love you, to whatever degree), & wanting or needing on your part never enters your mind. I hope you give this a think, because the freedom of this concept was LEARNED through long experience. I truly like your question. I'm glad I "ran across it" while I usually choose philosophy or arts & humanities.

Interesting question. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Connection is a basic need, looking for it in all the wrong places is what gets us in trouble. I just heard a song - here's the chorus:
♫ We are not that different from each other;
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard... ♪
We are imperfect people seeking other imperfect people to love us with perfection. Small wonder we are sad and needy at times. For me, when I allow my soul to rest in the love of God, I can make it.

Feeling wanted is a very strong emotion, everyone wants to know that they're loved and accepted, but I think there are some people that try way too hard to be wanted. I would hope someone would have the nerve to tell me that I was crossing that line, as I would with anyone else.

Do you relate to others imaginations? No! properly it particularly is all gods and devils are imaginary beings residing purely in believers brainwashed minds, why do you think of you have in no way considered a god different than on your aims or mind's eye? i understand lots of you faux believers see it each and all of the time, yet i'm conversing approximately sane no longer delusional people!

Some will go to the ends of the earth,depending on the intensity
of their need..I only tend to think of this when I am alone without a partner in life,as my need becomes apparent,thus it is a basic human need in every sense.

I think most of us would go to the ends of the earth, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It is the basic human necessity, and additionally, we were created to Love, so there you have it :)

Humans go to great lengths to feel wanted. Some betray friends, their signifcant other, lie, cheat, steal and kill to get the attention of their object of desire. Unfortunately, many have complete disregard for their fellow human beings. It's very, very sad.

For some it is losing self respect and moral values. Why do you think that some women will hurriedly go to bed with a man on a first date?? Lonliness and desperation make us do crazy things....
