My girlifriend is so needy, it is as if she needs to talk a lot. Also, she needs a lot of affection. She says that she likes to hear expressions of affection, and needs to feel that affection too. What am I missing in my understanding of my girlfriend's needs?

It's not just your girlfriend's needs, it's most girls need.
We need to feel loved and appreciated. I know it gets old for the guy, and normally the girl calms down a bit. Right now she's probably just making sure you love her or really like her and making sure you want to stick around before she really lets herself fall for her.
If you like her, deal with it for a while and chances are she'll simmer down.

Women have a strong need for affection; it rivals the need that men have for sex. This woman probably had a rough background and is a little more insecure. Build her up and give her the things that she needs, but don't allow her to drain you because she may become too dependent. Show her that you care about her and think of her even when she's absent by picking up things from the market that she normally likes and things like that. Compliment her and help her to feel good about herself. By making her feel like a queen, she will most definitely call out the king in yourself.

Nothing it's just the way she is. Most women are very emotional and don't know how to give space. It's something you have to learn for most women tell her how you feel even if it will hurt her or not she need to know the truth so she can try to fix it. Otherwise you might leave her because it's getting on your nerves. She needs to focus more on her than you she's probably thinking about you 24/7 and that is not good for you. Be honest good luck

Maybe she needs from you what she is missing from her family life. Some people are just generally affectionate. Some just like to talk, especially if they don't have many friends or family members to talk to.

You answered your own question ...she is needy
If this bothers you ...love her enough to let her go find someone that will give her what she needs

She needs a boyfriend who meets her needs. If you can't, then she'll find someone else. Your choice.
