    Social beings like approval of peers.

    Like another commenter said, survival instinct.

    Also its a nod to our identity, we derive a sense of self worth from those around us. Approval from people who believe what you do makes you feel like youre a part of smth bigger than yourself (look at religion, nationalism etc).
