{{B}}Friendly Relations with the People Around{{/B}} 1
You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling
of belongingness (归属) that you must have to feel secure. But, in fact, the
members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to give that
feeling to them. A person who shows that he wants everything for himself is
bound (一定的) to be a lonely wolf. 2 The need for companionship is
closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely
your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You
may take it for granted that there always will be people around to talk to and
to do things with you and for you. The important point, however, is that keeping
emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as
upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and
to them. 3 Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You
don't know them. When the game is over, you will all go your separate ways. But
just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the feelings of
others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win. 4 An
experience of this kind gives the clue (线索) to what companionship really is. It
depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection.
Companions become friends when these ties are formed. 5 When you are
thrown in a new circle of acquaintances (熟人), you may not know with whom you
will make friends, but you can be sure that you will be able to establish
friendships if you show that you really like people.
