Core Tip	While the feeling of being loved, respected, noticed, and belonging that comes with belonging to a group constitutes an important basis for the psychological health of the individual, the absence of a sense of belonging can increase feelings of rejection, isolation, and alienation, causing anxiety about both the individual's current and future life and thus negatively affecting their mental health. Study findings highlight the ongoing necessity for individuals to foster the development of coping strategies related to future anxiety and cultivate interactive relationships that promote a sense of belonging.
