hello all,
in what way do you need others?
i ask this way 'cuz i am of the opinion that You DO need people—that everyone does. but many don't agree, in theory and practice. err, "need"—to live your best life, i think.
do you prefer being around people? thinking of others? how do you view others, in relation to yourself; can you understand them, as a familiar? or. maybe you'd prefer not to think about them at all? some people have better things to worry about, i suppose.
At this point in my life I require human connection to ground me and provide a sense of comfort, and in a less healthy sense the people closest to me often build up my self worth because I'm over reliant on them.
Aside from the people I've made an effort to get close to, I don't care to be in the presence of others or think about them longer than I have to, especially since social interaction and how I'm perceived by others can be highly stressful for me.
