This quote is from Crooks while he's telling Lennie about his life and how loneliness was always a part of him.
Explanation:
he states that a guy needs somebody, which is his way of telling you that he is lonely, if you use context clues from the quote it shows that he uses the word lonely and he states that " a guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody."
when he says a guy needs someone to be near it means he alone alot and he wants to change that by getting a girl the lesson is i think be with a person who can turn ur life the right way choose the right person too don´t take advantage of it. He needs a girl to love, to care, to hold, to be with, this is the best i could do lol ( Thanks have a good day ) Love ya <3 xXAlexzandraXx
