Need vs. Strategy or request
From NVCWiki
| Need | Strategy / Request |
| Abstract, no reference to a specific person, action or time | Specific, doable, observable behaviour |
| Needs are a-scriptive, it is difficult to put words on what is also described as "the universal energy that connects all of us". Need language is probably the closest we can get to verbally describe this universal energy. | Descriptive |
| What I want to have fulfilled | What I want others or myself to do |
