    In fact, I would argue that this need for "belonging," is more often fulfilled in our live's by connecting with some sort of idea, group, community or team.

I would completely agree with this with the caveat of being careful what you wish for, because it might not always be what you want. At a certain level of interest and intensity the group or idea you seek can fall short of expectations and leave you further away from that feeling of belonging than where you started. If this happens, how can you really feel fulfilled or trusting of others when they don't match what your "sense of belonging" dictates they should? Everything in moderation, I guess.

What am I?
