Human Need to Belong



We humans, always want to belong.. We do everything other than survive ourselves, to belong to someone, or to some group.. Why this is the case?? I often thought about it, as whatever happens in this world, can somehow be related to the need to belong.. We work to earn money and we want to belong..

I always want a lot of people to be called mine.. I want that I can say these people as my people..

If we go the history, people moved around in groups, they belongs to each other.. Then the people fought for the kingdoms, to be the kings, desire is the same they wanted to call people their own.. Why do we want to belong so bad??

We being animals, we should only think about ourselves and live.. But also in animals, this is seen that they want to belong in a group..

I think this came from this need to survive the predators.. As if, we stay in a group, we will not be attacked, and not be hunted.. So get the feeling of protection from belonging to a group.. As if we stay alone, then we must have to do everything on our own, which can be tough and unsure as if we get sick, then we might for survive.. But as we have so many people we believe in them that they will take care of us..

This is a good thing that we want to belong, but humans can through a lot of things just to belong.. And that can sometimes get unhealthy.. We are the average of the 5 people we are most close with.. When we are not like the other people, we force ourselves to be like them to be accepted, and we try to hide our own feelings, which leads to depression and an increased suicide rate..

This is true for gender identity.. We want to be accepted in a group, and we pretend to be something else, that we don’t connect with to be accepted as a normal person in the group, so we hide.. We play the role f a different person, we play like a woman when we feel like a man, or we play like heterosexuals when we are not.. This leads in the long run, to mental health problems, and people suffer from this until they can’t..

This pressure to belong to a group should be changed.. As we don’t want to do something big, or stand out, we should think about there are people who are like us, and it is tough that we are not around them, but if we express ourselves, then we may find the actual people we connect with and we belong to…
