4. The Need For Belonging

Humans are social animals. People need a sense of belonging because they feel safe.

The need to belong is very strong. That's why many people can be manipulated through group thinking (e.g. the Charles Manson case) because they don't want to be rejected by the group.

However, the intense need to belong can lead you;

  • to think less objectively and affect you negatively.
  • You also become more easily vulnerable to manipulation and losing yourself.

-This doesn't mean that you shouldn't step out of your comfort zone, but be careful not to be too eager to fit in.
