At BrightSide, they thought about it, we summarized our thoughts and came to the following conclusions:
1. EGOISM
We are less and less ready to make compromises, to adapt, maybe even to sacrifice ourselves for the common good. We are increasingly impatient, we act rather 'instantly'.
2. WE EXPERIENCE LOVE WRONG
We want to liven up our lives with someone fun, someone who will take us to the cinema, to a party, make us laugh, etc. We are not looking for someone with whom we can also share our fears, sadness. And when a relationship or relationship moves into the next period, the post-butterfly period, we are often confused.
3. DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGIES
We talk to each other less and less live, more and more through apps, even if we are sitting in the same room. With this, we lose opportunities to listen to the tone of voice, observe the body language and communication of the interlocutor, extremely important elements of interaction.
4. WE WANT MORE, NOT BETTER
We are more and more inclined to get to know as many people as possible, but not to get to know as well as possible those we already have in our lives. We bring most relationships to the platonic level, and when the person is no longer useful to us, we leave them behind and look for someone else.
5. WE SEPARATE SEXUALITY FROM LOVE
Our generation makes a distinction between love and sexuality. Now it's about spending the night together first and then thinking about what, if anything, we want with this person.
6. WE ARE GUIDED BY FEAR
We are afraid of disappointments, new relationships, emotional wounds and broken hearts. We calculate all these things even before we meet someone, so we go to new acquaintances armed with a wall and armor. With this, of course, we do not allow our partner to get to know us completely, and we take away the opportunity to show ourselves to the world as we really are.
7. WE DO NOT STAY IN ONE PLACE FOR LONG
The lifestyle allows us or forces us, as you like, to move quickly, to be mobile, to go wild in the style of "being in several places at the same time" and now we have started to be like this in relationships as well. We instantly take off our heels when we smell permanence.
