In casual sex culture, attachment is a vice.
Its understandable that some people would want to take advantage of that.
It is not crazy to get attached to someone who you have had this kind of relationship with.
It is crazy that the standard expectation is that you wouldnt.
You are made to feel as though there is something wrong with you for wanting commitment.
Likewise, the path toward a lifelong relationship is just not as clear as it once was.
First, thats not what everyone desires, and thats alright.
But its healthy to desire commitment.
We need to stop pretending like it is.
It seems like its better to be the person who cares less.
This isnt just an abnormal dynamic, its also an unhealthy one.
When the game is who can act as though they care less, nobody wins.
The standard for what makes someone a decent partner is shockingly low.
Youve probably seen enough posts with a partner praising their significant other for doing basic tasks.
This isnt necessarily anyones fault, just a fact of the times.
You know why its so hard to commit?
Because the possibilities are limitless and nobody wants to miss out.
Years ago, you didnt have someone sliding into your partners DMs on any kind of regular basis.
It is understandable that we would all generally feel a little less secure in ourselves.
Trying to maintain a real connection in a disconnected world is profoundly difficult.
Do you know whats one of the biggest barriers prohibiting real, genuine connection?
Good relationships are not something we find, they are something we build.
That seems to be the piece that were missing.
