With the continuous development and change of society, the lifestyle and values of young people have also changed dramatically. In the process of this change, going home for the New Year is no longer a pleasant thing for many young people, but a memory with anxiety and stress. So, what exactly makes young people anxious about going home for the New Year?
In the process of working or studying outside the home, young people develop an independent way of living and thinking. They have experienced the ups and downs of life outside, and gradually developed their own living habits and social circles. Returning home for the Chinese New Year means integrating into the lifestyle of the family and hometown, and this sudden change can bring them a sense of psychological discomfort and anxiety.
As they grow older, family members often have various expectations for young people, hoping that they can achieve something in their careers, relationships, and families. Some young people may not be able to meet their family's expectations, or their choices may not be in line with their family's expectations, and this "expectation gap" can cause them to feel stressed and anxious.
In the traditional festive atmosphere, conversations between relatives and friends often revolve around various aspects of personal life, work, marriage, etc. For some young people, they may not want to be too interfered and questioned on these private topics, and this excessive attention and scrutiny can make them feel stressed and lead to anxiety.
Over time, changes in hometown and differences in reality may deviate from the memories in the minds of young people. This gap between reality and ideals can bring a sense of spiritual heaviness that makes them feel unable to truly fit in and comfortably face their hometown and loved ones, resulting in anxiety.
When young people who haven't been home for a long time return home, they often have to face many visits and dinners from relatives and friends, and these social activities can be a big financial burden for them. For young people who are in the early stages of starting a business or whose jobs are not yet precarious, this financial pressure can be a major cause of anxiety.
The anxiety of young people who are reluctant to go home for the New Year is mainly due to psychological discomfort, the gap between family expectations, the attention and scrutiny of relatives and friends, the difference between their hometown and reality, and economic pressure. In the face of this anxiety, we can seek appropriate communication and understanding, as well as develop our own mental adjustment skills to better deal with this emotion. Hopefully, in the days to come, going home for the New Year will become a more enjoyable and relaxing thing. List of high-quality authors
