Do meaningful Friendship and relationships still exist?

  • 2

We live in a generation that’s inclining more to Technology and thus taking away most of our socializing skills and a sense of meaningful relationships. I read somewhere that this generation boasts of so many things like not trusting people, lowkey lives … and many more. What’s your take?

    That’s a good question Emmanuel , because it is not one that can address the question without reflection.

    INCLINING TO TECHNOLOGY:

    What is your definition of technology?
    It is such a general word that it could be difficult to understand what type of technology you are referring to.

    Definition from dictionary.com:

    noun, plural tech·nol·o·gies for 4.
    the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.
    the application of this knowledge for practical ends.
    the terminology of an art, science, etc.; technical nomenclature.
    a scientific or industrial process, invention, method, or the like.
    the sum of the ways in which social groups provide themselves with the material objects of their civilization.

    Depending on what you meant, I would say that every generation is inclined to technology. Ever since man discovered fire and ever since Zuckerberg created Facebook. Inclination to technology is part of evolution and even survival.

    TAKING AWAY OUR SOCIALIZING SKILLS/SENSE OF MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS

    This will be easier to answer if I understand your definition of technology.

      Nice thoughts, I was referring to social media. Since most people nowadays are more hooked to social media more. And their presence there are for various reason, others do business, others are there for communication, others to show off etc. so you find people always wanting to be on their phones 24/7 that they even lack time to spend with friends or communicate well

    Yes they do. Healthy relationships and friendships do exist. If you maintain a small circle of friends who are there for you and you for them, it’s easy to manage the connection. Bonds tend to get loose when we don’t communicate or keep in touch. That applies for both friendships and relationships.
    In a relationship, you should understand your partner and accept them with their flaws. Major on what drive you to them rather than what you don’t like. Not that you shouldn’t point out if you get bothered, no. Being real is essential. You’ll learn how to deal with each other under different circumstances.
    Love people for who they are, just as they are. If you go into a relationship or a friendship because of a specific reason, it won’t last. Simply because once that variable differs, the faked love fades. That becomes a situationship and not a relationship. It never ends well.
    Healthy relationships and friendships are built on truth, loyalty, respect and pure love, or rather realness.

    Yes they exist. People are now trying to adapt and socialize online. When you have someone who is true to you and you to them then you don’t need to be together all the time. You can always link up via any platform and still interact well.

    The only thing you should do is identify these kinds of friends.

    Ofcource they do though they are so hard to find. I have a couple of amazing ones.

    The only secret to such relationships/friendships in my experience is 3 things.
    1. Being your true self and not changing for anyone.
    2. Respecting the other persons personality
    3. Staying curious with the world and with each other.
