Where are you on Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

I’ve got Physiological down for the most part, but striving for homeostasis is a daily challenge.
I feel that most of my challenges are in the realm of Love/Belonging. I deal with a lot of loneliness, and it is difficult indeed to find good people with whom to be intimate.
No real problems with esteem, and on my good days I am working toward self actualization. :)
Overall, I’m doing worlds better than I was just a year ago, and it’s great to remember that.

I start to lose confidence the minute I hit level 2 (Safety). Sure I’m fine with “morality”, but I feel the rest could disappear in a blink. So no confidence in those.

Oddly, I’m really good with 3,4,and 5 (love, esteem, and self-actualization) – but I feel they are constantly undermined by the threat of level 2 crumbling at any minute.

I’m still working on level 3, and some days I stress about some aspects of level 2.

I don’t think the hierarchy works in the sense that “at this stage of my life, I am at this point in the hierarchy”. I think it’s meant more for us to measure the meaning behind our needs? At this stage, I feel secure in some higher on the priority (like love) and lower on the hierarchy (physiology—though I do feel a bit peckish..), but my safety leaves something to be desired. My job is part-time and my contract will end after I graduate. I also do not have health care, live at home with my parents, and do not have a car or the knowledge to drive it.

So I would say the needs outlined in level two are the ones that I am working toward achieving.

Interesting to see that people feel safety is more ephemeral and shaky then quite a few of the other aspects. I follow suit.

I identify with @bookish1 in that homeostatis is difficult to maintain dealing with disease and health energy diet, but I too am consistently at least over the long haul improving at management of it.

I also feel much like @cookieman that selfactualization is indeed a comfortable fit for me. But the emotional self esteem and other issues inform on how secure I feel at level 2. For me while I don’t necessarily have these in the bag in order to improve on a lower level I must first achieve a reason to.

Though I do have a job and a place to stay and what not they feel temporary.

I would argue Maslow’s theory of needs, but I’d have to get in line to do that, I’m sure. That said, out of all of that the only thing that’s important to me is safety. Psychological might, at first hand, seem more important and ’‘before everything’’, however whether I live in the woods or in Utopia, if I want it, I get psychological. Adaptation and crap.

I’m too badass for the rest of that shit.

’‘threatens everyone in this thread with a bone’’

Overall, I’m at a comfortable level all the way through self-actualization. However, I’m lacking in many individual areas on several levels: Living with chronic illness means I don’t really have homeostasis or security of my health. My current employment/income status means I don’t have security of employment, resources or property. I’m also a chronic under-achiever and not very spontaneous, so those are areas that could be improved upon.

Self-abnegation.

I do a lot of creative stuff. I am involved in passing on my skills and in creating new opportunities for people to do all kinds of interesting things. I create music and dance and facilitate spiritual workshops. I’m also working on my own psychological health most of the time. In addition, I am always working on the love and belonging and sexual intimacy level. I don’t think it is possible to ever be satisfied on that level.

I’m Dropping platitudes left, right and sideways. Must be self actualizing, or as others may say
deluded.

I’m on food and shelter….for needs.
