What is it that we want when we seek out connection with others? Do we want a sense of belonging? Do we want to be part of community or part of something bigger than ourselves?
Do we just need one true, special connection or many? Do we need connection?
Why do some people seem to need human connection more than others? Are the people who don’t seem to need it as much just fooling themselves?
Are we just wired differently and some people get something from connecting with others, let’s call it CE, while other people get it in another way?

But maybe I’m confusing “socializing” and “connecting.” Having a large social circle, many friends, doesn’ t mean you have many people that you feel connected to.
Does our need for connection depend on our beliefs about and around being alone?
