<human>: My boyfriend (19M) recently told me (18F) that he thinks that I'm "getting TOO needy" ( his words and emphasis, not mine). A little background: He and I rarely see each other, and our only form of communicaion is through texting. We've been together eight months now, and we haven't been having this issue.  I give him space whenever he needs it, and he knows I won't get mad if he asks for it.  He always wants to talk, so I know I'm not the one being too clingy in that aspect.  Overall, I don't see how I'm being needy.  
Does it make me needy that I respond when he wants to talk? I feel like I'm missing something here.  Feel free to ask me any questions.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I know this is ironic to ask, but I need to know so that I can fix it, but what is needy, and how do I stop coming across as it?
