Think of it in easier terms:

When your core commitment is being hydratet your need will be water.

You want to be satiated so your need for that will be food.

What's not written but implied here is a state of deprivation (thirst, hunger).

Was it always easy for you to create examples? I’ve always been awful at trying to explain with examples.

I would like to get better at it but it’s so bad. Like no correlation whatsoever. Is there even a point in trying to improve in that area?

Tbh I didn't think about it until now. For me it comes natural.

Is there a point? Wanting something often is enough reason for me.

Can you make money off of it? Nah I don't think so haha

I'm sorry, but that isn't correct. There is no conflict between 'being hydrated' and a 'need for water', while there is a conflict between 'control' and 'trust'. And that's what you want in a story: inner conflict that the character will work on and grow.
