Why You Need To Feel Needed

The need to feel needed is essential for humans. Why you need to feel needed can often be tied to a perceived lack of purpose in life, leading to a sense of loneliness and emptiness. This is not a mental health issue in the traditional sense, but something primal, related to the search for a life purpose.

The video explores how the need to be needed is deeply rooted in evolutionary psychology.

I also explain how you can use Alfred Adler's Life Task as an alternative to looking for your life purpose - and to hopefully give you back the feeling of being needed.

Hard Love Theory is the channel about relationships, dating, and psychology, I could've used when I was younger.

Based on my own experiences, I focus on dating advice, relationship psychology, marriage, mental health, and therapy - in order to help men and women build strong, healthy, long-term relationships.
