friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

Fear of Being Average
The fear of being average doesn’t show up as fear. It shows up as silence. You don’t feel it scream. You feel it settle.

The Emotional Cost Of Ghosting And Sudden Romantic Disappearances
Ghosting has now been an everyday occurrence in dating, particularly with the emergence of online dating and dating apps. Humans are able to establish emotional attachment within a short period of time only to find the other party vanish without any notice. This is a silent denouement, which makes people puzzled and emotionally disoriented. In the absence of closure, the mind finds it hard to process the wrong that took place. Most conversations are replayed, trying to find the errors and even thinking they are the cause of the disappearance. The emotional blow is even more powerful than a blunt refusal since the not knowing makes one uncertain and desirous of answers but this is not the case.

How Casual Dating Culture Is Emotionally Draining Hopeful Romantic Hearts
Freedom, flexibility and excitement have become common in relationships today as casual dating offers a person the opportunity to have a free, flexible and exciting relationship without the emotional commitment. Lots of hopeful romantics get into this culture with an illusion that it provides connectedness with no stress or a heartbreak. Initially, the excitement of encountering new individuals is invigorating and energizing. But, in the long run, the absence of emotional appeal starts to make one feel empty. Relationships that exist on a short-term level hardly offer the safety and knowledge that real bonding entails. Little by little, the heart gets weary of the same lines of introduction, temporary love, and abrupt good-byes that cause some emotional exhaustion and cannot be ignored.

The Emotional Chaos Of Modern Dating Nobody Honestly Talks About
Contemporary dating is quite fast paced and is something that the human heart was not meant to deal with. Through the dating application, social media and instant messaging, individuals can encounter, bond and vanish in few days. This rapid cycle causes emotional whiplash where one can be excited and then quickly disappointed and confused. People are supposed to live within the rapid emotional shifts with no time of processing their emotions. The repetitive nature of connections as they start and stop consumes emotional resources, which make people feel tired and disconnected. What is started as a hope turns into stress, and dating is not as romantic as it appears to be a survival of emotions.

The Quiet Loss of Self in a Fast World
When You Realize Something Is Off At some point, many people experience a strange realization: they don’t feel like themselves anymore. It’s not dramatic. It’s not always painful. It’s subtle. You still wake up, go to work or school, talk to people, and function. But inside, there’s a quiet distance between who you are now and who you remember being. Things that used to excite you don’t hit the same. Conversations feel more shallow than they used to. You might even struggle to describe what’s wrong because nothing is obviously broken. Yet something feels misaligned.

What Kills Long-Distance Relationships Faster Than Cheating
Long-distance relationships put most couples' emotional strength to the test in unexpected ways. While we often blame adultery for breakups, we consistently observe that many long-distance relationships end before infidelity occurs.
