Other than obvious needs like food, water, and shelter, what people need and what they desire can vary from person to person. They also don’t really know if anything else is a need or a desire without attempting to go without it.
I don’t need social interaction. I’m probably better for having it, and there is definitely a desire for a few close family and friends. But if stuck on a desert island alone I could adjust fairly easily.
Some people would be unable alone on an island with nobody to interact with. They need social interaction to thrive, and may even need it to simply keep on living.
I feel like this is a Matryoshka answer? At least for me the difference isn’t as clear as you claim it is.
How do you know whether the thing you want to achieve, or the things you want to keep on going, is a need or a desire?
(I guess I just woke up with monday morning existential dread haha.)

That’s a very practical answer. I like it! Thank you!
