Maslow's Hierarchy of needs...

Hi everyone...long time no see!! I dont really have time to blog lately...Today..i wana talk about people and their needs. According to Abraham Maslow,the hierarchy of needs is depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the first lower level is being associated with Physiological needs, while the top levels are termed growth needs associated with psychological needs. The higher needs in this hierarchy only come into focus when the lower needs in the pyramid are satisfied. Once an individual has moved upwards to the next level, needs in the lower level will no longer be prioritized. If a lower set of needs is no longer being met, the individual will temporarily re-prioritize those needs by focusing attention on the unfulfilled needs, but will not permanently regress to the lower level.

i just want to talk about the third level of the hierarchy,which is the social needs.. Humans need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, whether it comes from a large social group,or small social connections.They need to love and be loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others. In the absence of these elements, many people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and Clinical depression.

No man is an island...we all need a sense of belonging..need to feel attached to an individual or a group..I just want to tell my family and all of my friends...i love you guys so much..without you guys..i am not who i am today..thank you!!
