Needy means you need other people to help you through your life, you're not sufficient on your own.. Ideally in a relationship you want to be in a place where you are able to give, and if you're needy then it can be quite draining for other people around you.

Although in saying that, everyone needs each other to some extent, otherwise we'd be recluses I guess.

Predictable behavior might be always being polite, and pleasant, but never saying anything interesting, unusual or thought provoking.. so unpredictable people seem more interesting, although too unpredictable could be insane.. Being predictable would be the same as taking no risks

If you don't mind me asking, what makes you bring this up? has somebody told you you're needy and predictable?

It might be a good idea to try and be less needy and less predictable but being 100% unneedy and 100% unpredictable could be a bad way to be.. I guess.
