Gathering and belonging

The sense of being part of something larger than yourself, created through shared rituals, purpose, or space—different from friendship or romance because belonging scales and persists beyond individual relationships. Humans will sacrifice significantly for belonging, which is why it's both one of our greatest needs and most exploitable vulnerabilities.
