The basic principle of human interaction is that people are in need of other attention and desperate to feel a connection with other people. I think people feel this way because there's a natural feeling to not only bond with other people but also feel like your doing something right in the world and get emotionally compensated for what your doing in the world. Furthermore there are clearly certain techniques that people use to draw different kinds of attention and therefore forge different kinds of relationships.
One of the main reasons people try to connect is because of death. Everyone wants to be remembered after they die and the thought of dieing and knowbody ever rememberin use is tragic. I think deep down people would rather die thought of as a bad person rather than not thought of at all. This can be seen clearly through the sentimentality that people display all the time. "Remember when we went to.. Oh the time he did...". That feeling of sentimentality can be different for different people. I think that some people use it to bring the people around them up so to thereore make themselves look better. However there are some people that shy away from sentimentality. These individuals tend to be older people who have a hard time coming to bear with their age or whatever and don't like to think about how old they really are.
Truly it's really quite diffiuclt to be alone in the world; truly alone where there is no contact or a feeling of belonging or obligation to something. Even the kid who sits in the back of class and won't talk to anyone isn't really alone. We have endless back ups; our family, our country, our neighborhood, politics, nationality. All of those things give people a sense of belonging, and even if those traditional elements don't spend an hour looking up random stuff on the internet and you can find people who bond over the weirdest and most unthinkable things. So even though we have communication and bonding no matter what the real game is to get as much communication as possible. The more people you can bond with the more respected you are, and who cares whether or not people are being lied too because people like being lied to knowbody wants to hear the truth.
Finally I think that overall its healthy to want to be heard and liked by other people. I think this because people inspire the best out of other people. We are the driving force for everything good in the world. Unfortunateley were the driving force for everything bad as well. It is true that it takes a village to raise a child. We are all dependent on someone somewhere for something. Why do we do what we do? Evolution and natural desire. Maybe. Probably not.
