So from the very minute that we're born, we are cared for in order to survive.
We're completely reliant upon our caregivers in order to keep us alive.
Human beings have the longest period of developmental needs of any species.
And so every interaction that our caregivers have with us shapes us into the person that we become.
We know that these early years of life end up forming the neural pathways that we draw upon as adults.
They shape our attachment style, which influences every relationship that we have in our lives.
They teach us how to regulate our emotions or not regulate our emotions, and that impacts every moment of every day.
And so at a very basic biological level, no one is a human being alone.
We require each other in order to be able to develop and then to function.
And then as we go out into the world,
none of us are able to do anything by ourselves, right?
The only reason you and I are able to have this conversation is because there are people out there who have created these tools and platforms and the internet and the systems that make it possible for you and I to get on the phone together.
And
the more that we start to recognize our dependence upon one another, the more we can see that actually this need of each other isn't a flaw the way it's been painted in our world, where dependence is almost like a bad word in a way.
But dependence on each other is what enables independence.
And then independence then furthers dependence.
And it's this relationship that I think we really need to return to in order to recognize dependence.
our deep need of each other and how we can be there for one another to support each other every day.
Paradoxically, the most effective strategy that people can use when they're lonely is to go out and help somebody else.
Because what happens is when you're lonely in your brain, basically it shifts into something that's called self-preservation mode, where it doesn't want to connect with people.
