In terms of romance, the word for needy is needy, meaning “desiring constant affirmation, lacking in self confidence.” Is it emotionally exhausting to be
around her because she’s needy?

What are some adjectives for plurals that are considered extremities. Its singular is extremity.
From Eng. From en. from en. From en. to en. From en. to en. To en. from en. When you look at online wiktionary resources, find out the definition of “extremity”: hand or foot. It is here.
(It also has a sense of “A limb,” ie an arm or leg, so may be imperfect for your needs).
My only criticism is my comment on collinsdictionary from 2001. com shows similar definitions, for extremities and extremity respectively, with emphasis added:.
(formal) hands and feet •
a limb, such as a leg, arm, or wing, nor the part of such a limb farthest from the trunk Theterms appendage and appendages are relevant too, though rather less specific to hands and feet than are extremity and extremity. From en. Wiktionary, appendage means “an external body part that projects from the body”. What are the main appendages of humans? Human males have another appendage, or member, sense 4. Typical males have another appendage of sense 3. Is there a biological basis for breast fat as an appendage? Why or why not? If fingers and toes count as minor appendages, I suppose noses and ears should count as well. Fingers
and toes can also be counted as minor appendages.

“A rumble of men’s voices” might be an appropriate phrase, using rumble’s sense “a low, heavy, continuous sound, such as that of thunder or a hungry stomach”. Heavier
and sound “Something else”.

Consider the term traduction as “Act of passing on to one’s future generations” which derives from an archaic sense of traduce: “To pass on (to one’s children, future generations etc.); to transmit”. Note, among its senses, tradition has one that’s related: “The act of delivering into the hands of another; delivery”
Convention (“A generally accepted principle, method or behaviour”), conventionality (“The state of being conventional”), peer pressure (“encouragement or influence by one’s peers She vowed to give up drinking during the exam period, but eventually succumbed to peer pressure and was out drinking with her friends within a week of the resolution “) also are relevant.
Equally consider inertia; “In a person, unwillingness to take action”, also “(medicine) Lack of activity; sluggishness; said especially of the uterus, when, in labour, its contractions have nearly or wholly ceased”, from which derives the saying, of some custom or another, that it exists for hysterical reasons.

Negationism, a particular form of illegitimate distortion of the historical record such that certain events appear in a more or less favourable light”, would be the best term for the revisionism your examples portray, if it weren’t usually applied just to denial of historical crimes.
Retroactive continuity is used in discussing popular literature, and will be applicable if we overlook the fiction-rather-than-non-fiction aspect of the examples. Retroactive continuity refers to “alteration of previously established facts in a fictional work… to revise the in-story history to allow a course of events that would not have been possible in the story’s original continuity resolution of errors in chronology”. The term retroactive history is also seen occasionally, referring to adjustment or reinterpretation of real-life facts to fit one spin or another.
What are some related but not-quite-applicable terms: hindsight bias : an inclination to see events that have already happened that they were expected or probable, or confirmation bias: a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs, or hypotheses.
People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. How powerful is this effect for our emotional sensitivity?
