The human needs I'm referring to isn't survival needs such as eating etc. But a more unexplored. Emotional needs.
Everyday decisions and behaviors are driven by our emotions most of the time rather than logic.
I believe that you wish to make a change in your life and I strongly suggest reading on as it's important to understand ourselves and how we think. So, altogether there are 6 of those emotional needs. Let's take a look at them below.
1. Certainty
We all need to feel a sense of security, a peace of mind and assurance.
When someone stressed, worried or unsure, they acquire this need by Smoking, Drinking even Over-eating or lying to themselves. Some others also lose their temper, turn dominant and boss people around just to get a feel of certainty.
Besides those negative examples, there are people pray to their religion, confiding in parents or a friend, reading personal development books or just having a strong belief to have a sense of security.
2. Uncertainty
This is in direct conflict with the first emotional need. If we had absolute 100% certainty in life where you knew exactly what was going to happen, when it will happen, how it happens every single day, how would you feel?
This causes a stable and predictable relationship to go wrong as there is no more surprises not excitement present and quarrels will arise leading to fights and even breaking up.
People find uncertainty in many ways, some go around and find trouble, pick a fight, commit crimes, take drugs, etc.
A better way to fulfill this need would be try new sports, travel to a foreign country, start a business, play a game, watch a movie, etc.
3. Significance
Significance is the emotional need to feel different, important, needed or special.
Some people feel significant and special by buying luxury items, cars branded goods or even joining a religion, a membership even a career such as a cop.
Piercings, tattoos and bodybuilding can also give certain people a sense of significance by looking different from one another.
Some get this need indirectly through another person, such as being the wife of a billionaire or a son of a tycoon. Habits such as putting others down or looking down on others are also a result of having no significance.
4. Love and Connection
This is in direct conflict with the need of Significance. If you're so special and different from the people around you, you will feel that you don't belong, feel outcast and disconnected.
Our strongest need as humans is the need to be accepted and be loved by the people around us. Once we are significantly different, we will feel a loss of connection to our love ones.
We all use different means to fulfill this need. Making friends, having a relationship, getting married, having kids, having pets, doing prayers, meeting people, etc.
Some people thinks that they need sympathy, they yearn someone to care for them. And when it didn't happen, they resort to self abuse or taking drugs to fill that need.
5. Growth
We need to constantly grow by learning more and challenging ourselves to become better.
6. Contribute
Contribution or giving gives us fulfillment in life. Which is why there are so many philanthropists around. They have the get, and they give happily.
Some of the things mentioned are so common that we did it subconsciously which explains either our positive or negative actions. And now we know why we do certain things and we can better take charge of our lives!
