10 Reasons Why The Younger Generations No Longer Love

Many times we think that past times are better. We would like to go back to those places where everyone seems to be in love, time stood still between the bohemian nights and the joyful, carefree life of a less technological and busy world.

But have you ever wondered how this era will be seen in the future? What the inhabitants of our planet will think, in fifty years, about our social behavior, our traditions and the strange ways of dealing with love?

Nowadays, more and more people are surrendering to love. Generation X forgot about love worries and about living their life through success and success at work.

For them, the important thing was not to have a beautiful family, as in past generations, but to have prosperity and economic freedom.

Then, generation Y left aside the conventions of romance and past love relationships to face a much more rational and logical love. A concept in which past conventions were not present, a new love through the contemporary world.

However, how can we face an unknown love, a world in which the important thing is no longer a social contract to marry individuals, form alliances and secure a future?

People have no instructions for dealing with love, but they interpret it as best they can. Yes, perhaps the new generations have stopped believing in traditional love, but we are facing a much more equitable, humane and respectful one, in which both sides of the relationship have more balance.

Even so, many say that the new generations lose interest in having a loving relationship, the one that could be fundamental in our life and our happiness, but why has our generation given up on love?

Deciphering it is complicated, because there are a number of important factors that make us notice that the factors that play in the choice of a stable relationship, increase.

Here are 10 reasons why fewer and fewer people are surrendering to love and opting for a solitary life.

1. We care more about instant gratification than anything else.

We grew up surrounded by the luxury that allows us to have instant access to everything.

If we want food, we can get it quickly; if we are bored, we have thousands of ways to distract ourselves from home with video game consoles or just cell phone apps. Previous generations never experienced anything similar.

Technology has allowed us to make our communication faster, but we have also become addicted to instant gratification, and that bad habit is responsible for the failure of our love lives.

Love, unlike our daily lives, does not need instant gratifications, but something much more lasting that involves more effort for greater benefits.

2. We have built a culture that focuses on banal pleasures such as alcohol and drugs.

In addition to the previous point, drugs and alcohol become one of the easiest options to obtain instant gratification, because they produce pleasure quickly.

When we feel sad, we go drinking with our friends, if we are stressed, we smoke tobacco, and if we want to relax and forget about life for a moment, we buy stronger substances.

However, drugs and alcohol are often the worst enemies of love. These substances give us the illusion of a different reality, one in which emotions are much more intense and make us believe that love must be different from what we really feel.

3.- We experiment too much

Every year, people have multiple partners, and although there is nothing wrong with experimenting because it is very pleasant, many of these couples become empty experiences that sometimes make us feel even more lonely.

In addition, not wanting to have a steady partner makes it much more complicated to find a person who really interests us.

4.- We become more egocentric.

Being egocentric is something innate to human beings, but in many occasions our egocentrism affects our ability to feel empathy, and as humans, we have no choice but to live within society.

A love relationship is very similar to a partnership, but only of two people. When we focus only on ourselves, our needs and our desires, the needs of our partner are forgotten and everything begins to deteriorate.

6.- We do not like compromises

Without commitment there is no relationship, it's as simple as that. A relationship needs two and today people are looking for less responsibilities because they are looking for a life that fits their way of being.

Therefore, instead of focusing on meeting the needs of a relationship, they only seek to satisfy their own needs.

7.- We continue to believe in fairy tales.

Many people of our generation will still put a Disney movie in their top ten. We grew up with them and learned all about love through their stories.

The problem lies in the fact that most movies create false expectations, and when we meet a great love, we often expect it to be like in those fairy tales, and that the love will last forever.

8.- We live deceived with the belief that perfection is attainable.

Sometimes we seek to become a perfect individual, which is impossible. We will all fail, we will see loves that seem to be perfect in other people and we will compare ours.

Sometimes, those comparisons will make us believe that we are not with the right person even though in reality that love is the right one. There are no perfect loves, there will always be fights and arguments.

There won't be stories like in fairy tales and we won't always feel on cloud nine, but probably being with that person can still be the best thing that ever happened to us.

9. Sometimes we forget to include our partner in our goals and objectives.

The fact is that the new generations are focused on individual growth and development and that makes them some of the luckiest in history.

Having dreams and goals is always good, very good, but many of us focus on meeting the goals and forget about finding love until those goals are met.

On that path, many don't realize that perhaps one of the most important pieces of our life was finding a life partner.

10.- Most of us are very bad at love.

Love is confusing, mutable and different in depth. It can change depending on the person we love.

Everyone loves in a different way but many are lost and do not even know how to face the opposite sex.
