Despite the level of in-depth thoughts and analysis that go into planing and executing relationships these days (some of which are very insightful and practical), they are failing more than ever. Why? A lot has to do with the mentality of the present generation. https://twitter.com/cee_amour/status/1281439730874421249
Delayed gratification is no longer a thing. People want to be happy now, not later. But they often miss an important ingredient for happiness which is contentment. People have spent a good amount of time being told that they are special and mustn’t “settle for less”
There’s a false sense of self importance that doesn’t translate to value going around. Average people with normal flaws expecting to be with people that are perfect because someone told them that it’s what they deserve. Even when there’s nothing special about they themselves.
Social media is also playing a huge role in this disillusionment. People always look happy on SM. Further convincing onlookers that there must be much better out there. This is not only happening in relationship. You see it at the work place too.
Three quarters of staff meetings in today’s workplace are centered on how to keep staff happy, yet people keep leaving in droves. There’s a disillusionment that happiness is out there and people are determined to find it, even when they are not sure what they are looking for.
