Why We Crave Connection

Human beings are inherently social creatures. From the moment we are born, we are thrust into a world where relationships and connections with others play a central role in our development, well-being, and overall happiness. The need to belong, to feel part of a group, and to form meaningful connections is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. This psychological drive is known as affiliation, and it has profound implications for how we live our lives, make decisions, and interact with others.
