I don't think there's an easy answer. There's a story that may be relevant: a guy is standing on the beach. He's completely aflame and seems to be looking around. Another guy approaches and says "Hey! Jump in the water!" And the on-fire guy says "Yeah, after I find out where the fire came from." Humans need connection. Some more than others. Imagine how tightly-knit human societies had to be for the bulk of human history. Whether this is the right answer, I have no idea, but it seems like people are grasping for something like connection.
