I am looking for a word for someone who feels like they need to be admired. By this, I do not exactly mean someone who is convinced that they are a supreme being, and need to be worshiped, or something like that. I just mean someone who maybe is slightly insecure, and feels like if they need to be looked up to by others to feel important. I know this is a bit specific. Is there a word for this?
