What hunger are you craving right now?

The lust for money and possession. Greed can stem from emotional trauma and unmet needs. In a bid to replace the emptiness of emotional distress, a person can attempt to use objects or possessions. There are individuals who constantly crave for money even if they have enough of it.

People who have a sense of insecurity do not consider what they have enough. They always compare themselves with other people and end up feeling inadequate. They want to measure up to a certain standard and this drives an excessive desire to make money (Onojodofia, 2023).

The hunger for recognition. This is a need to be noticed or to receive attention and acknowledgement. This is observed when someone oftentimes become irrational to the point of becoming unprofessional just to be noticed.

Emotional invalidation during childhood can have detrimental effects on one’s mental health, self-perception, identity, and relationships as an adult, and is often associated with stronger feelings of anger, shame, guilt, and worthlessness (Veretis, 2022).

The sense of being RIGHT all the time. Self-righteousness is an attitude and belief of moral superiority derived from a person deeming their own beliefs, actions, or affiliations to be of greater virtue than those of the average person or others.

Self-righteous people — regardless of what they’re self-righteous about — are exhibiting a lack of serenity. It’s a lack of inner peace (Hurd, 2018).

The hunger to be in a relationship. Emotional hunger is “a feeling of a strong emotional need that is usually brought about by deprivation in childhood”.

When a person grows up without love or affection as a child that manifests itself as a strong need for emotional closeness as an adult. To get this need met, a deprived person may latch onto a romantic yet demanding relationship (Sacac, 2017).

When individuals cannot control their individual needs to the point that these have drastic effect to their ecology, and they cannot individually address their hunger, it is high time to see the doctor.
