Attention and Recognition

We as humans, like to be acknowledged. We love attention. Introverts might say they don't like it. But at the very least, they would like to have some recognition.

Why is this?

Hmm, there are many reasons why we "need" this. Firstly, we are social creatures. We thrive on interactions and love. To know that someone cares for us or at the very least thinks about us, makes us feel better and good about ourselves.

We could be lonely. Or maybe, we have been working too hard and it feels like nobody recognizes our efforts.

The "work" that I am referring to can be on any areas of your life. It could be your career, fitness, relationship, family.

You know, mhmm that one month where you worked really hard but your boss doesn't give you a bonus or even a pat on the back. Giving so much effort to your relationship but she doesn't even seem happy. Or savings your ass off for your child's education, only to find him rotting his life away with video games.
