"Youth Online" Issue 31: What is the psychology behind "anti-severance"?

On major social media, the trend of "anti-renunciation" has gradually risen and become a new attitude towards life. Young people have become "waste experts", some have transformed the lid of the oil drum into an anti-hot pot lid, and some have removed the packaging of wet wipes to make jewelry boxes...... Everyone wants to find new use value of waste products and make the most of them. The topic of "when Chinese break away from the bloodline and awaken" even rushed to the hot search. After the "severance and renunciation", why did the "anti-severance and renunciation" suddenly become popular? What is the psychological mechanism behind the "anti-severance and renunciation"?

"Breaking away" has always been defined as "behavioral philosophy", and now the craze of "breaking away" is slowly fading, and some voices of reflection and questioning are increasingly emerging. What is the psychological mechanism behind the "anti-renunciation"?

Gao Xiaoyan: People who advocate "anti-renunciation" may feel satisfied and fulfilled about keeping items or recycling waste. This behavior may reflect their creativity and sense of innovation, wanting to demonstrate their ability and creativity by repurposing and reusing waste. In addition, "anti-disconnection" may also reflect people's emotional attachment to past memories, and by transforming waste into useful objects, they may feel a stronger connection to past experiences and emotions.

1. Do it yourself and bring a "flow experience"

"Flow" refers to the state of preoccupation and selflessness that people are in when they are doing something. In this state, one does not even feel the presence of time, and after the thing is done, there is a feeling of energy and great satisfaction. Advocates of "anti-renunciation" make things by themselves, such as transforming used milk tea cups into pen holders, storing jewelry from egg trays after eating eggs, and sewing old towels into drawstring bags...... In the process of renovating old things, they are immersed in the experience of flow and continue to innovate and create, which is one of the reasons why they are reluctant to abandon "addiction". In fact, there are many behaviors that can lead to a flow experience. Actions such as copying scriptures, practicing mindfulness, and doodling and coloring are all done in a simple, vipassana way to quickly calm down and feel flow. When you're in a bad mood and feeling irritable, try these tips.

2. Display the work to meet the "achievement motivation"

The achievement motivation theory states that people with a strong need for achievement pursue the joy of overcoming difficulties, solving problems, and working hard in the process of striving for success, as well as a sense of personal fulfillment after success. The advocates of "anti-disconnection and renunciation" displayed their works made from old things in their personal social media, which won the likes and comments of the majority of netizens, which made them feel full of accomplishment. The positive feedback from achievement motivation reinforces their behavior, and they enjoy it even more. In life, when we feel that something is difficult and difficult to start, we can divide the task, use the "small step principle" to decompose the big goal into small goals, meet the needs of achievement through small behaviors, and use the motivation to achieve success, and constantly motivate ourselves to continue to move forward until the final goal is completed.

3. Diligence and thrift, reflecting "cultural identity"

Culture represents the foundation and blood of a nation. Individuals in a group, through cultural identity, can connect themselves to the nation as a whole, thus gaining a sense of belonging and security. With the popularity of "anti-renunciation", many people realize that the pleasure brought by materialism is short-lived, and it is more meaningful to pay attention to their inner experience and seek a sense of value and accomplishment inward. As a result, everyone has joined the ranks of "old things are reluctant to be lost, continue to use them in a different way", and in the process feel full and practical, which is undoubtedly a recognition of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and also the inheritance and development of the excellent quality of diligence and thrift.

Whether it is to give up, or to give up, there is no absolute good or bad, right and wrong, choose which attitude and way of life, the key is which way can help us reduce the psychological burden, bring pleasure. We should also embrace the current tide of renunciation with an open and positive attitude.

Engrave memories with materials and save time with life, which is an important part of human material inheritance and spiritual continuity, so, in a sense, anti-renunciation is a struggle with the ruthless passage of time, we strive to leave something, it seems to leave those memories and emotions that have been, in a sense, "instant ownership" has become a reality in these things.

If you want to become a member of the "anti-renunciation", we only need to use some wisdom and creativity in life, and those things that have been re-cherished through secondary creation will bring you inadvertent happiness and satisfaction in life.
