Are MODERN Relationships Superficial?
Hello, friends! In this video, I share my observations about relations in the West, especially among young people aged 18 to 30. We talk about the lack of commitment, respect and the importance of not being content with love. I also reflect on how personal experiences and cultural expectations influence our relationships. Don't miss this sincere analysis of modern love! Leave your comments and suggestions below. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for this video suggestion. I might elaborate more on this topic in the near future as it is too much to unpack in one video.
I will address the elephant that's going to walk into the room. I understand that some things might be oversimplified and there's a lot of nuance. This topic is too much to unpack in one video so I might consider mentioning more of my thoughts in part two or part three if I decide to make something like this.
I also want to say before I get any of those comments that ‘because I am a woman I don't understand what I'm talking about just because it's easier for me’, I would say I think it's important for both men and women to be compatible than to settle and encountering more problems. Sometimes people are having issues because they ARE NOT selective enough.
"There is a difference between being satisfied in a relationship versus simply settling. Some may not realize they are settling in a relationship, especially if they are unaware of their motivations for choosing that person. It is common to see someone “settling” in a relationship where they may dismiss their partner’s behavior, give more than they get in return, settle based on financial reasons, or in some instances out of self-sabotage.
Many people come to therapy because they feel “stuck,” “numb,” or are experiencing dissatisfaction in their romantic relationship while internalizing it as something being “wrong” with themselves. Some feel ashamed for feeling unhappy, while others are not sure when their feelings of indifference started, or why.
The reality is, “settling” in a relationship is based on two common patterns. On one hand, a person either impulsively chooses someone for the wrong reasons such as arbitrarily jumping into a relationship to prevent being alone. On the other hand, “settling” may happen more gradually when one or both partners start to change and grow apart without officially ending the relationship. In either situation, the result is that a person feels “trapped,” “empty,” disillusioned, and unsatisfied in their lives."
