To Read:
As human beings, one of our greatest needs is to have a sense of belonging.

There are different kinds of belonging, and as with anything, they can be positive, or negative.

Some groups and relationships deliver a negative sense of belonging, where we are valued not for who we are, but for what we represent or even for who we hate.

The bonds we form with people can be built on mutual distrust and distaste for the world.

We can be tightly woven together by our lack of respect for ourselves and the fear of rejection from society.

This is why we can have close groups of very toxic relationships that we are unable to break away from, because hatred and negativity can create a sense of brotherhood or sisterhood.
We feel good in their company, yet deep down inside we know that it is a false sense of belonging, where the very people we depend on can very easily turn against us or reject us.
Often, it’s not that we truly belong, it is that we fear not belonging and therefore are unable to leave the security the friendship or relationship provides.

This is why as we grow older, many of us start to filter out certain people and narrow our circle of friends - we come to the realisation that the negativity and unhappiness we feel from “belonging" far outweighs the comfort the relationship brings.

Yet, it’s not about being fussy and exclusive with who we decide to have in our lives, but to choose to interact positively with every single person we meet.

We can have a truer sense of belonging with the person we buy lunch from everyday than the friend we’ve had for the past 10 years.

The comfort of a relationship is always based on authenticity, and authenticity cannot exist when we bond with someone over negativity.

True belonging comes with a sense of safety that is absent from fear of judgement or the fear of rejection.

You’ll be surprised at how the smallest positive interactions with people everyday can bring about a sense of true belonging that helps you be happy, always.
