Stimulation hunger can make us the victim of marketing campaigns which often feed on unsatisfied drives. In this sense, the purchase of a new shirt or the choice of the color for a car has additional accessory benefits. Each human is unique and has an identity and a name. One experiences warmth and the appreciation of ones existence through recognition. At the visceral level, recognition may be maybe verbal or non verbal, positive or negative.
Recognition is the opposite of being shunned or neglected.
Recognition hunger is the need for warmth from others. The human nervous system is complex. Its needs can be supported by positive verbal interaction, by structured ritual, or by verbal and physical combat. Each stabilizes the personality. Hatred and rejection work as well as smiles and greetings.
