We all need connection, there’s a lot of evidence that loneliness has a significant negative impact on life expectancy and has been cited to be as bad as smoking for your long-term health!
Our human need for engagement includes building relationships so that we have trust. This causes us to feel a belonging with others, to have hope and to be able to share that hope with those we trust and who trust us.
This also leads to a sense of worth and enables us to feel competent, which in turn leads to us feeling valued and needed by others.
