This is an image from my therapists practice (that she comissioned). It shows the 6 types of needs that people have: contact, recognition, incident, sex, stimulus, and structure.
For me, I find I have a high need for variety, intellectual and interpersonal stimulation (and nervous system stimulation), and an extremely high need for contact.
Recognition, merely being recognised does not help my loneliness at all. Similarly, incident simply stresses me out.
Where do you think you might stand?
