Love and Belonging

Love and belonging refer to the deep human need for meaningful connections with others. Love involves caring, affection, and emotional bonds, whether through family, friends, or romantic partners. Belonging is the feeling of being accepted, included, and valued within a community or social group. These experiences foster emotional security, support well-being, and contribute to a sense of identity. Without love and belonging, individuals may feel lonely, disconnected, or unfulfilled. Overall, they are fundamental to psychological health, helping us feel understood and supported in our social worlds.
