Document Summary
We form relationships to fill three primary needs. Inclusion: the need to be included by others and need to be connected to others (sometimes we just need a group) Affection: the need to feel liked by others (just because you are with other people, does not mean you will have this need met- you might not be liked) The more connectedness: the higher the wealth, happiness, lower the crime rates etc. In communities and at the personal level (bowling alone) Impact of our phones and devices: we are more connected to people, but at the same time less connected to the people with us (alone together) Relationships of circumstance: formed because our lives cross in some way, no choice involved (family, coworkers, classmates, neighbours) Relationships of choice: we seek out and intentionally develop a relationship with someone (friends, lovers, mentors) John bowlby- attachment theory (relationships between babies and primary caregivers)
