    I think everyone is "emotionally needy" at some point in their lives. I do my best I can as a friend or family member to help them through it by talking to them and allowing them to vent about what's going on; if I think they need a hug, I'll give them a hug or I will do things to make them feel loved until they get past it. If I feel they are depressed or truly need professional help that I can't give, I will try to approach the subject in a way that won't offend them, or make them feel worse; by asking if they had thought about seeing a doctor about what's going on and even offering to go with them if that's what they need.

    First things first. Is "emotionally needy" a euphemism for whiny?
    You're a strong woman, Milly. Everyone isn't as "tough" as you are. An arm around his or her shoulder (real or figurative) will help that person tremendously to derive some strength from yours.

    I try to stay away from them if I cannot easily and willingly meet their needs. Usually friends/spouses/children and parents are meeting each others needs in an agreeable and satisfactory way for each. There has to be something in a relationship for both parties. If there isn't, why have it?
