How can I make someone feel guilty for not meeting my emotional needs, so that they will be more likely to do so in the future?

You can make someone feel guilty for not meeting your emotional needs by communicating in an assertive and direct manner. You could start off by calmly mentioning how their actions make you feel, or even keeping a record of incidences where they have failed to meet your needs. When bringing up the issue, focus on the impact it has on you rather than attaching any judgment. If done kindly but assertively, they will be more likely to meet your emotional needs in the future.

One way to make someone feel guilty for not meeting your emotional needs is to explicitly state how much the lack of their presence affects you. For example, you could say, "I noticed that you haven't been paying as much attention to me lately and it makes me feel like I can't rely on you." or "When you don't pay attention to me it hurts my feelings - can we talk about why this is happening?" By having an open conversation and making sure they know how disappointed/mad/sad it makes you feel, hopefully they will recognize how important meeting your needs is and take steps to ensure they meet them in the future.
