Basic Human Needs

[b]Basic Human Needs

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)[/b]

Love!

Against all odds, Sahuaro, trust me if you would like to see this basic need exemplified in prime time...

'To be in control'?

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.

I no longer am called by my childhood nickname. Will it still work? Baby

Site nickname implied; wouldn't be appropriate to request any other.

I did that at the top of this page. So clearly, the basic need is to be ignored. Why didn't you just say that?

Obviously. That and attention. He will drag this out until some random number of people have jumped through his latest hoop. Too bad I can't go back and delete my jump. I thought he'd follow through.

He will.... In fact, you're already receiving part of the answer to the basic
human need we seldom know we're having at the time. Hang tough.

Please follow the suggestion to lolof.

a sense of value? (self value)

These guessing games are addicting. Easier to give up than smoking though... well, maybe.

Yes. No. Maybe, depends on what you mean by "annoy me". (Thumbs Up)
