well, i've spent many a year not being needed by anyone else (not currently, but many a year in the past), and even during those times i still needed others... even when i tried to pretend that i didn't need anyone else, i still did. there are a lot of reasons you might not be needed by anyone (say you just moved to a new town and have no job- basically, no one needs you)... but if you "don't need anyone else", are you so proud that you are refusing help and human contact? or are you so apathetic that you refuse to reach out to anyone? i don't know... i think to not need anyone is probably worse.
