"Princess Dream" and "Princess Disease": The Self-Perception and Dilemma of Contemporary Girls
In this era of rapid development of the Internet, social platforms are full of all kinds of stories and opinions, and today, we are going to discuss a small episode that happened in a college cafeteria, which not only caused a heated discussion on campus, but also set off a wave of discussion on the Internet.
It is said that in the cafeteria of a certain university, at noon, Xiaomei stepped into the cafeteria as usual, with a desire for food flashing in her eyes. She walked to the stall of the meat bun, and she had already calculated what to order. However, after ordering the 8 yuan meat sandwich bun, Xiaomei imagined that the boy next to her, Xiaoshuai, would pay for her gentlemanly. It's a pity that Xiao Shuai didn't seem to understand this "hint" and walked away. Xiaomei felt embarrassed and humiliated, and angrily posted a complaint on the school's "confession wall".

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Xiaomei's post not only caused a sensation in the school, but was also forwarded to major social platforms by enthusiastic netizens. For a while, labels such as "princess disease" and "overconfidence" were attached to Xiaomei, and the boys in the school also began to be vigilant against this kind of "implied payment" behavior, and the Internet exploded.
Some netizens bluntly pointed out: "Isn't this an obvious princess disease? Why ask others to pay for you?" Some boys said: "You have to be careful when eating in the cafeteria in the future, for fear that one will become a 'wronged boss' if you are not careful." ”
A netizen posted a summary of the "princess disease" phenomenon of some contemporary girls, including over-glorification of their own behavior, misunderstanding of history and reality, and unrealistic fantasies. This article quickly became a hot search on the top and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Of course, there is always a diversity of voices on the Internet. Some people expressed strong disgust with Xiaomei's behavior, thinking that she was overconfident and unreasonable, some people imitated Xiaomei's tone with a mocking tone and launched all kinds of funny jokes, and some people were critical, thinking that such behavior was really inappropriate, but they also hoped that everyone could be more understanding and tolerant.
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, we can't help but think: what makes some young women have such a "princess dream"? Is it the influence of the Internet age and social platforms? Or is it caused by the social environment and family education?
Perhaps, there is no single answer to this question. The advent of the Internet era has indeed exposed more young women to diverse information and values, and social platforms have also provided them with a platform to show themselves and exchange ideas. But at the same time, these may also have a certain impact on their outlook on marriage and life.
It is not difficult for us to find that in this era of information explosion, all kinds of "chicken soup texts" and "inspirational texts" emerge in an endless stream, which often depict a perfect world, making young women mistakenly think that they should be the pampered "princess". However, reality is often cruel, and when this "princess dream" collides with reality, the gap and frustration can be imagined.
Returning to Xiaomei's case, we may be able to look at this issue from another angle. The reason why Xiaomei behaves like this may be because she longs for attention and pampering deep down. And this desire is largely influenced by the Internet and social platforms. In an era where everyone seems to be the center of attention, Xiaomei may mistakenly think that her small actions can attract the attention and concern of others.
However, true attention and pampering is not achieved by asking for others. Instead, it should be based on self-esteem, self-love, and self-reliance. It is only when a person can truly love herself, respect herself, and strive to improve her inner and outer self that she can truly gain the respect and affection of others.
Therefore, for Xiaomei and young women who have similar thoughts to her, perhaps it is time to re-examine their values and outlook on life. In this era of diversity, we should learn to think independently, insist on ourselves, and strive to become a person with connotation, cultivation and pursuit.
In short, the "princess dream" is not wrong, but pinning your dreams on others and relying too much on the attention and favor of others to achieve your own sense of worth is a sign of immaturity. We should learn to grow and shine on our own, rather than waiting for salvation and charity from others.
Finally, I would like to ask: Have you ever had a similar "princess dream"? How do you view this mentality of contemporary young women? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
