Oxytocin and Other Affectionate Terms

Socialization is a key fragment of human life. It keeps us sane, happy, and is an expected occurance. Without the relationships of a typical human life, we would be less advanced than animals, which also have their own societies and connections. Having people one can rely on keeps much stress at bay, and love produces happiness. Love actually induces chemical reactions in the brain that have positive effects on humans. As well, one of the main purposes of human companionship is reproduction. Without it, humans would not even exist. The ideal human family consists of a mother, father, and the offspring, as it was planned to be. This set up is based off of human relations; love was intended to be an essential part of a healthy life. Humans are meant to come into the world and be cherished and loved, so where would we be without that?

From Geek To...Geek With Friends

When I was younger, my mother and I moved around quite often. I never spent more than a single year at any school, and once I even attended two different schools in one year. As a result, I never had many friends. As a small child it did not bother me because I was more than content to keep my own company, but it became a lonelier experience as I grew older. I wanted friends, and I wanted to belong somewhere. However, I was never the most socially adept child, and was often shunned by most of my classmates for my strangeness. It was a desolate and agonizing routine, being shirked by nearly everyone in my path, aside from any single friend I would somehow make at any given school. Today I have a multitude of fabulous friends, and I cherish every minute of our friendships. Perhaps I may be a bit clingy, but it is difficult not to be when I have a subconscious dread of losing any one of them. They all mean so much to me, and being accepted by such wonderful people is the best feeling in the world.
