This hypothesis is to be supported because people in relationships feed off each other and before being in that relationship, were drawn to each other through various traits (good nature, outgoing, etc). Society tends to abandon unhappy people, attracted to people with positive attitudes. Centuries ago, humans banded together to survive and to this day, that support and belonging is invaluable to the happiness of the individual, hence it is almost instinctual. As a result of this, people are willing to say and purchase things to impress a certain group or individual to ensure they continue receiving that sense of belonging. Being alone is worse
