Short YouTube advice clip (Eric Deeran) about maintaining a high-status communication frame by avoiding needy language. The speaker explains that appearing needy lowers your perceived status and gives example phrasing to use when following up (e.g., mention being busy or between meetings rather than saying "I'm just following up").

You want to come across as. Like, you have at least the same status level as them. Because when you come across as needy, you start to drop that status level below them. So anytime you're reaching out, you just want to be. Hey, you know, I was busy. I just was in between meetings here. Just had a second to touch base. Something like that. So you're not like, hey, I'm just following up with you. Like, don't ever say that. It's horrible.
