[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I think you have to hack your brain. Tell yourself that these are your people and you belong with them. Put out that energy and it will influence what you get back. I'm reading Our Tribal Future, and it's about how we are programmed to identify with a small tribe of people. That impulse can be positive or negative (leading to isolation or fanaticism). It's not easy in our modern society. You may briefly have a group of people all focused on one thing together - the preschool years, or an election campaign, or a close knit neighborhood - but then it's over or people move away, etc. So you have to be intentional about it . . . volunteering somewhere, or joining a hobby group, or finding a faith community. My church is pretty small, which helps. Even though I don't go as often as I'd like, I do feel like I am known and appreciated and supported. Maybe yours isn't the right fit for you.[/quote]
