How Relationships Are Affected by Technology and Social Media
Technology has revolutionized the commencement of relationships. Social sites, apps, and instant messaging have simplified the process of getting acquainted with others and they are now accessible and quicker than ever before. Relationships that previously relied on the aspect of co-existing physical spaces are now starting with the use of screens. Such a change has widened the distance to reach and thus, individuals can now connect with people whom they could not meet, in their ordinary lives. Technology has done away with geographical boundaries, it has brought convenience in the initial phases of relationships.

Why Relationships Require Effort, Not Perfection
When most individuals get into relationships, they have the belief that everlasting love is found by finding the right partner or having a perfect relationship. This notion is usually supported by social media, movies, and dating culture, as they tend to showcase only the most joyful things. As a matter of fact, perfection is not realistic and sustainable. Perfect people do not make relationships, but imperfect people with various histories, habits and needs in emotions. Holding perfection is too much pressure on the partners and brings disappointments when unavoidable difficulties occur.

How Relationships Evolve From Attraction to Commitment
Most relationships start with attraction, a strong blend of chemistry, interest and emotional fascination. Attraction brings two people together, which earns excitement and anticipation. Emotions at this stage are light, intense and tend to be idealized. The human being will concentrate on what he or she loves and what makes him or her feel good and will be keen on being connected and sharing of time. Attraction provides a potentially open door, yet it is merely the beginning of an even more resulting journey of relationships.

How Healthy Relationships Are Built in Today’s Dating Culture
The modern dating world is a rush with the influence of technology, social media, and evolving demands regarding love and commitment. Having such choice and being always connected, it is a common practice that people enter into relations without knowing their emotional needs. Emotional awareness is a starting point of building healthy relationships, as it entails knowledge of personal values, boundaries, and relationship objectives. When people know what they desire and require emotionally, chances are low that they will accept unhealthy relationships or get lost in issues.

Word of the Day: 横断歩道
Unfortunately I don't have time to retain anything anymore since I am barraged with the enviroment. I used to be able to learn 500 chinese characters a week and then, a bunch of jealous fucks told me to slow down. I felt self conscious of my ability to learn.

Loved or unloved?. Content Warning.
After 6 years, I am single again. I don’t hate the person who loved me. I don’t hold any grudges or anything against the person who gave their all. They decided to leave, and that was their choice. But in reality, it does hurt. It hurts to the point it’s hard for me to breathe. Having chest pain throughout the night and not sleeping. I thought we were going to be together another year, but after 4 days in, they decided to break things off with me. The date was January 4.

Why Feeling Connected In Relationships Improves Mental Health And Happiness
Relationship connectedness refers to not only being emotionally close, understanding, and feeling a sense of belonging to others. This relationship enables people to feel visible, listen to them, and appreciate them. Shared experiences and empathy, trust, and continual communication create emotional attachment. Relationships bring comfort instead of stress when individuals feel connected and this gives them emotional stability in their day to day lives.

Addressing Mental Health Needs While Maintaining Balanced Relationships With Care
A balanced relationship is not possible without conscious action in meeting the mental health needs. The level of emotional wellbeing is closely linked to the quality of relationships and it is because a supportive relationship offers the stability and resilience. Nevertheless, the disregard of personal mental well-being to achieve relational harmony may generate burnout, resentment or depletion of emotions. Balancing is a process that concerns the consideration of personal needs and development of mutual understanding and respect.

The Effects Of Emotional Dependency On Mental Health And Relationships
Emotional dependency is a phenomenon where the person becomes too dependent on the partner or the loved one to provide emotional support, validation and feelings of self worth. Although support is a normal thing in a relationship, overdependence might destroy independence and introduce imbalance. Emotionally dependent individuals may have difficulty in controlling emotions or making decisions on their own, instead depending on others to control the emotions. This dependency may eventually develop anxiety, feelings of insecurity and lack of personal identity, both psychologically and relationally.

Why Emotional Validation In Relationships Strengthens Mental Health And Confidence
Emotional validation is the act of accepting, acknowledging and recognizing the feelings of the partner, non-judgmentally and without rejection. It conveys in relationships that emotions are valid and significant, which creates trust and emotional insecurity. When people feel justified, they will be able to open up more, resulting in more intimate levels and comprehension. Emotional validation does not involve consent to agree to the expressed emotions, it just refers to their existence. This recognition minimizes emotional isolation, which makes partners feel that they are supported instead of being criticized.
