Though your mention of 'affection' is the first, it's not quite the basic human need we seldom realize at the time. Let's try a different approach: Post a simple question with your nickname (as in ......? -Bob). Then, watch what happens.

Well, maybe I take it back. I was thinking of needing some attention from another person, (or, say, a dog) but there are hermits in this world. On the other other hand, there have been studies (in baby monkeys) of the effect of deprivation of attention and affection, and it is devastating.

Let's play hangman. How many letters are in it? 😛

Previous mention of hangman format is much preferable.

So is signing our name a clue to the actual answer? Otherwise it makes no sense.
Nothing psychological or scientific; no Freud, Jung or Maslow; just a few basic, fundamental needs: air, water, fire, sleep, food, shelter, privacy, etc. There's one that's seldom if ever listed. Care to guess? And no, it's not a game. (OP)
