Commitment to relationships Why it's that these days a lot of people struggle to commit long term to relationships or work or anything that requires a sense of responsibility? 1 U.S. Dollar = 34 Bahts

Because internet and commercial tv are telling us that you should have fun all the time and that fun is the same as happiness and that YOU are the most important person in YOUR life and YOU should always have FUN! Fun is # 1! | |

Throw away society...throw away friends, relatives, children, lovers.
The ME generation, Superficiality/Vanity/Consumerism/Materialism. Small hearts & minds, mean spirits. Lack of morals, ethics, humanity etc. [Edited 7/7/14 11:55am] "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Yes I do believe these sorts of people are totally self absorbed and if it's not about them having fun and being the centre of attention they become totally depressed. There must be a psyche term for this 1 U.S. Dollar = 34 Bahts

Ex-Moderator | I actually see the opposite in my direct social circle. Pretty much everyone’s coupled up in long-term relationships/married. I have 2 single girlfriends left and one of those just got out of a relationship that wasn’t working, but not for lack of trying…

That's good to hear "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

There must be a psyche term for this Narcissism? I'd say materialism. I remember meeting a fiftysomething year old teacher recently who wondered, Why don't young people protest anymore like I used to when I was young? My reply was, life these days is just too easy. We have everything, tv, mobiles, all of that will keep you "busy" while not thinking about anything. But CarrieMPLS' reply is encouraging: not all young folks are braindead! | |

Yes you are correct thank God otherwise family life would be lost.Unfortunately however a lot of people who do not get what they want all the time seem to lack the commitment to work at the relationship beyond the early stages of strong sexual gratification . 1 U.S. Dollar = 34 Bahts

And whilst the masses have their eyes on their 'smart' phones the powers at be get away with murder... literally. Whilst laughing all the way to the bank.

That's exactly it - Work - don't want to put the work in ,fair weather friends.

Everyone I know is either in a long-term relationship or undeserving of any kind of human affection. MY COUSIN WORKS IN A PHARMACY AND SHE SAID THEY ENEMA'D PRANCE INTO OBLIVION WITH FENTONILS!! | |

So if you are not in along term relationship you do not deserve any kind of human affection. That is a load of bull I have ever heard. Everybody deserves love and affection, otherwise what is life about? 1 U.S. Dollar = 34 Bahts

IMO, there's something about being so comfortable and worry-free (in the grand scheme of things) that allows people to abandon social or communal ideals and instead focus on the self as the most important thing in the universe. Then of course, once you're focused on the self, you pursue that which brings the self the most gratification. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |
