* [[friendship]]
* [[Human sexuality|sexual intimacy]]
* having a supportive and communicative [[family
Humans generally need to feel belonging and acceptance, whether it comes from a large social group (clubs, office culture, [[Religion|religious groups]], professional organizations, sports teams, [[gangs]]) or small social connections (family members, intimate partners, mentors, close colleagues, confidants). 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|depression]]. This need for belonging can often overcome the physiological and security needs, depending on the strength of the peer pressure. e.g. an anorexic ignores the need to eat and the security of health for a feeling of belonging.
