So of course our brains were shaped by natural selection, the bulk of human evolution,

hundreds of thousands of years spent in small collectives, nomadic clans, and exceedingly small villages, groups of six to ten adults with some children thrown in.

The most vital attribute and trait, a human being

had was the ability to become popular to the other members of the group to be liked.

Those who were liked would have been well taken care of when they were sick, when they couldn't collect or forage for the scant resources that were available at that time.

Humans were often very malnutrition, malnourished and there was exceeding reliance upon other members of the group to survive.

If you weren't a team player, you would be ostracized.

Those who weren't popular would not have been able to live long enough to pass on their genes to succeeding generations.

And so over the course of evolution, brain was installed with a bunch of very

key circuits that essentially influence our behavior towards seeking constant

affiliation and support of groups. We have and also to seek secure attachment with others to begin with.

Ventral medial circuit of the brain, which is otherwise known as the ventral medial circuit of the brain, which is otherwise known as the ventral affect, is the part of your brain that essentially processes all self-related information. it the circuit features some of the most

influential regions of the brain such as the amygdala which is the essentially the smoke alarm of your brain that triggers fight, flight or

freeze and is the core of most of our emotional responses.

It activates the cingulate, which is what focuses our attention.

Streatum, which builds habits, and this key area of the ventral medial region which integrates emotional experiences.

Essentially what it boils down to is it primes us to constantly monitor how other people are looking at us and regarding

us and making sure that they are sending back feedback or signals suggesting that they approve and like us.

When all goes well, the Venn neurons, which are the most essentially capable of developing multiple

wide array of synaptic connections.

Then neurons in conjunction with the ventral medial

trigger an area in the singular
