What happens when someones basic human needs are not met?
I looked at Maslow’s Hierarchy. I did indeed got the very basic housing and food part, but I didn’t come from a loving family, my husband abandoned me, and I have been alone most of my adult life. For a while, it was hard to cope, but over time, I have adjusted to what I believe is a very comfortable place for me. I don’t have many friends, not many people are invited to my home, and I learned to support myself so well that I didn’t need to depend on another human being to assist me. I retired from work at 49, and I am still alone, but I am very happy this way. I have developed a very cold emotional personality, though. I couldn’t care less if I looked out the door and saw a dead person in the street. I mind my own business, and I don’t believe I’ll ever have people in my life again. I don’t trust them at all.
