A Sense of Belonging
People join communities for benefits, not belonging.
They want to learn something new, to achieve a goal, to grow status, to be entertained, to have fun, etc.
They only find and value belonging after they've been a member and formed relationships.

I see more and more people quietly stepping back—not out of cynicism, but out of a desire for something richer, something more authentic and expressive. Maybe in this new world we find ourselves in, we’re all searching for new ways to belong

Belonging gives us the confidence to take care of ourselves, others, our planet, and all the members of our ecosystem. Knowing this, it becomes clear that building a community is one of the most important, generous, and creative acts a human can aspire to.

Human beings can’t help it: we need to belong. One of the most powerful of our survival mechanisms is to be part of a tribe, to contribute to (and take from) a group of like-minded people. We are drawn to leaders and to their ideas, and we can’t resist the rush of belonging and the thrill of the new.
