Why?

I don't have any quotes or referenced sources to back me up on this, but I believe it is part of human nature to always seek approval from others.
Maybe I'm totally wrong about this, but I think it's logical to say that as humans we are social beings. And as such, we naturally seek to be part of a group rather than to stand alone---hence the reason we give so much importance to whether others agree with our views and ideas and to their general opinion of us.
