Hello. Why as people do we need other people? I guess I kind of covered this in one of my last posts. I guess this time around will be a broader need of human interaction. Why do people need the approval and acceptance of those around us? Why do we need friends and family to spend time with us on our birthday? Why do we need our parents to accept us and love us? Why do humans need someone other than themselves. Like I said I covered this in another post (About Love). I understand it in a psychological, sociological, and biological sense. The thing is those answers do not satisfy me. I get that humans are social creatures, but to me that seems like a petty excuse. Why can’t we chose to get rid of that need? For some it only seems to be a source of pain. I look around and I see all the people enjoying themselves, content with the attention they receive from others. I find myself wanting that, but then I think about it and I wonder why I want it? I think it has something to do with trying to find meaning in one’s life. People give that sense of fulfillment, but do they really. I think it was a post on here that said the depression is a state of not caring about anything and anxiety is a state of caring too much about everything. Why would not caring be bad. I guess once you have felt the happiness that life has to offer, you pine for that feeling again. Maybe as humans are minds naturally tell us to stay away from that state of not caring. It tells us that it is bad. I want to take out everything my mind tells me to do as far as wanting to be apart of a group. I want to reach that point where absolutely nothing fazes me. I don’t want to feel the sadness of depression, but I want to feel that sense of nothingness it has to offer. In a sense that nothingness is probably the closest thing living people will have to feeling dead. I want to live in a world with out any sort of emotions. I want to live in an empty world. That way nothing can touch me. I would be free from the thing that drives me and end it all. It seems my rambling is over. Thank you for listening.

Humans are inherently social animals. This social aspect means that we are programmed to help each other survive by sharing resources and providing physical and emotional support…
