The Jeff Yalden Foundation has a graphic called the Theory on Teen Suicide with 3 overlapping circles:
1) I’m a Burden – Perceived Burdensomeness - This represents a belief on the part of the individual that they don’t make any notable contributions to the world. They serve as a liability.
2) I’m Alone – Thwarted Belongingness – This represents a belief on the part of the individual that they don’t have any meaningful relationships.
3) Desire for Suicide – Capability for Suicide – Represents habituation to physiological pain, to fearsome experiences, to repeated exposure, to painful and proactive events.
The overlap of all 3 is where we need to be very concerned.

Think of the most painful experience of your life.
Not only is social pain literally painful. Praise is literally pleasurable.
Social pain motivates us to be together and work together.
Historically – belonging was necessary for survival – but is it really any less so today?
Social rejection looks the same (from a neural perspective) as physical pain.
Social pain is the same in the brain as physical pain. Social pain is “the pain associated with the actual or potential threats to one’s (actual, potential, or imagined) social connections.”
If you give people Tylenol then you don’t see the pain areas in the brain light up.
Social isolation has been used as punishment and torture.

"The primary goals of adolescence"
“Fitting in, or gaining peer acceptance, is a primary objective of youth in the high school context and, for many adolescents, may be more important than academic goals.” (Crosnoe, 2011 Eccles & Roeser, 2011).
Perceived belonging and the data students collect on it becomes the “source material” for important outcomes like dropout rates, academic performance, mental health issues, and how much control they have to make the changes they feel need to be made. We typically extrapolate data we took in in high school about how we fit in and where we belong and apply it to larger society, college, workforce, etc.
It doesn’t matter if WE think they are connected or belong. Do THEY think that?
Students that are low in social connectedness tended to think that “peers were in control of determining the criteria for which youth could fit in with certain social groups and that, in order to fit in, conformity is necessary.” Many of these kids are not interested in conformity but they are interested in belonging.
Many kids get labeled or put into a group that they don’t feel is consistent with who they really are, or who they would choose to fit in with, if they could.
Kids with higher amounts of social connectedness tend to feel more like others perceptions of them, and their ability to fit in, is in their control. They can draw people closer or push them away, with either little cost, or a confidence that they can find what they need elsewhere.
If am considering making myself vulnerable by trying to make a connection, but I have a history of being rejected, then I may decide it’s not worth the risk. Am I isolating because I don’t want to fit in, or because I’m pretty sure I won’t, so why bother trying?
If I am considering making myself vulnerable by trying to make a connection, and I have a history of being accepted, then maybe it’s not a risk at all. Maybe it doesn’t even feel vulnerable. And if I did get rejected then I might still have the confidence to try again, or simply fall back on social connections that are already established.
Jacqueline Schall, Tanner LeBaron Wallace & Vichet Chhuon (2016) ‘Fitting in’ in high school: how adolescent belonging is influenced by locus of control beliefs, International Journal of Adolescence and Youth, 21:4, 462-475, DOI: 10.1080/02673843.2013.866148

Maslow had it wrong. Food shelter water are on the bottom. But infants can’t get those things on their own. They need a committed caring adult to consistently provide them. So SOCIAL NEEDS must be the very bottom of the pyramid. According to Maslow it’s the 3rd tier up – as if it’s optional, or just nice. For every primary need on the bottom of the pyramid there is a corresponding Pain. Hunger, thirst, and the need for shelter is to rest and recover from pain that would otherwise occur.
“Food, water, and shelter are not the most basic needs for an infant. Instead, being socially connect and cared for is paramount. Without social support, infants will never survive to become adults who can provide for themselves. Being socially connected is a need with a capital N.”
“Real pain (that is, physical pain) serves an essential role in our survival. For every need with a capital N there is a corresponding physical pain with a capital P that we feel when the need is not being met. A lack of food leads to thirst, which when unquenched can be similarly painful and motivating.”
