Part A: The Need to Belong:
1.) I understood the belongingness hypothesis to be the idea that we all have a almost a desire we are born with to fulfill a need to belong to someone.

I know have more anxiety when it comes to getting close to others especially when it comes to dating. So I strongly support that experiences do effect our current or future
