Love and belonging needs are the human needs to feel connected, cared about, and part of something bigger than just “me on my own.”
This is a way of explaining what people tend to seek in life, from basic survival all the way up to growth and purpose.
Human feelings are the inner experiences that tell a person how life is going for them right now, like a built‑in signal system.
Compassion is the ability to notice when someone (including yourself) is struggling, and to respond with understanding rather than blame or distance. It’s a mix of awareness, empathy, and kindness — a gentle “I see your pain, and I care.”
Love is the deep “yes” your whole being feels toward someone or something. It is a lasting care that wants the other to exist, to be safe, and to grow – even when it’s not easy, even when you don’t get what you want in the moment.
The ego is the part of your mind that says “I.” It holds your picture of who you are, how you should act, and how others see you. It is not your whole self, but it has a big influence on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.
Natural human needs are the basic things a person must have to stay alive, stable, and able to grow as a whole human being. They are not “wants” or luxuries; they are the foundations that help your body, mind, and heart work well.
Being human is messy, beautiful, painful, confusing, and deeply meaningful, and all at the same time. It means having a body that gets tired and breaks, a mind that thinks and worries, and a heart that feels joy, fear, love, shame, and everything in between
