Thank you, Marcus.

In a way, she also took what she needed, instead of what (she said) she wanted.
She needed to remain thirsty because she felt her self-value ( and the fact that she deserves to be loved) only through that position.

It is a phenomenon we often see; the need of being in the center of the attention in this way.

"Asking for help while you also do something about it" is not the same as "asking for help while you always put yourself in the position of needing help" to repeat the cycle you need.
