how important is a 'sense of place' in defining who you are?

Answer 1

To me very important. In the book performing without a net the guy claimed that clinging to a place is immature. But to me place is important.

I think a sense of home is very important. Part of defining who you are is your place within the community. If you're a nomad then you are not part of the community. That makes you a nobody that nobody cares about.

Friends, family, community provide all you need in life.

Answer 2

As it could be a country as much as a home I think it is quite important.... as someone who was born and raised in one country and now living in another for people to understand who I am they need to know where my formative years were spent....
a home ,on the other hand, is the best informative insight to a persons character..... if you know had to read the aesthetics- it's a form of subliminal advertising really- we make subjective choices as to what we put in them after all....

Answer 3

you must be referring to "niche", where you get to release your potentials and bring out the best in you... that being in that place would mean a sense of belonging..it is that important in all kinds of relationships, you do think so that no man is an island..

Answer 4

Not important at all, you should be who you are everywhere and anywhere at all times

I need my place as its somewhere to crash when I am pissed.

Answer 6

Answer 7
