Do you need affirmation after everything you say ?

I don't know anyone like that, but I think it would be a great type to put as a character in a novel.

the thing is in the telling.. she sounds like little mouse , .. but she's far from that, she's outgoing, and talkative... but there just seems to be something in her that needs affirmation for everything she says... i think someone hit on the head when they said it's perhaps a historic thing, perhaps she had problems in her youth of not being believed.. what it doesn't explain tho' is the way she parrots him.... :unsure:
 
Well I had a friend who would not do anything without her husband. They did everything together. If I asked her to go just for a coffee it had to be very close to her house. And he would come and pick her up. She had no friends except me as a former work colleague. She and her husband held hands all the time which I thought was cute. She has a large family and does everything with daughters, grandchildren, sisters-in-law and hubby is always there too. It's not like she is forced to do everything with her hubby, she adores him.

But I found that I was not enjoying always going to close to her home to have coffee only as she never had more than 1 hour to spend with me. I asked if she wanted to go to a craft show or a museum or have lunch somewhere new, nope. Finally, I just didn't meet her anymore. And she didn't really care anyways. I guess no loss at either end of this relationship.
 
Usually when I have something to say, the listening party are awestruck and confused.
 
I once worked with two sisters who would always look at each other before they spoke. If you asked one how she was, she would glance at her sister before answering and then glance back at her once she had answered. It was just a quick glance, hardly noticeable at first but, once you noticed, it made conversation awkward.
 
Not really but at a place I worked at the PM janitor needed a formal thank you every time you asked him to do something. He'd tell you he completed the task and then stand there for his formal thank you. I don't know what it is, some people have delicate egos.

Reminds me a little of the first scene in this clip:

 
I work with someone, who I don't like, who laughs after almost every statement she makes. It's irritating. She's also loud and curses. I don't like the way she treats me, so this just adds to her.
