In today's society, we often find that adults seem to become more and more silent and lack the desire to share. From a psychological point of view, there are a number of complex factors behind this phenomenon.
First of all, life stress is an important cause. Adults face multiple pressures such as competition for jobs, financial burdens, and family responsibilities, which make their energy drained a lot. In a state of exhaustion, they often do not have the energy to actively share their thoughts and feelings with others.
Psychological mechanisms of self-preservation are also at play. After experiencing life's setbacks, misunderstandings, and hurts, many adults gradually learn to hide their true emotions and thoughts. Fearing that sharing will lead to more negative evaluations, criticism, or not being understood, they choose to remain silent to avoid possible psychological harm.
The psychology of social comparison also affects adults' desire to share. The popularity of social media makes it easier for people to compare their lives with others, and when they find that their lives are not as good as others, they are prone to low self-esteem and anxiety, which in turn reduces sharing.
In addition, as an individual ages, an individual's sense of psychological boundaries gradually increases. They pay more attention to the inner world and privacy of the individual, believing that some things are only suitable for themselves to digest silently and do not need to be shown to the outside world.
Moreover, in interpersonal communication, if the previous sharing is not responded to positively or is ignored, it will also make adults gradually lose their enthusiasm and motivation to share.
However, excessive silence and lack of sharing are not conducive to an individual's mental health. Suppressing one's emotions and thoughts for a long time can lead to the accumulation of emotional problems, such as depression and anxiety.
To change this situation, it requires the efforts of individuals themselves, as well as the support of the social environment. Individuals can try to let go of their defenses and express themselves bravely, while also learning to listen and understand others. Society, on the other hand, should create an atmosphere of tolerance, understanding and support, so that adults can feel safe sharing their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
In short, the fact that adults are becoming more silent and less willing to share reflects their complex psychological state. Understanding these psychological factors can help us better focus on our own and others' mental health, and rediscover the joy and value of sharing.
