In the digital interaction of modern society, the act of "deleting" seems to have become a silent expression of emotion. Some people think, delete friends, delete chat history, delete **....Behind these behaviors, it is precisely the special concern for someone that is revealed. So, is it really because you care too much that you choose to delete it?
On the one hand, it is true that deletion may stem from excessive care. When a person is too sensitive to another person's emotions, or has high expectations for a certain relationship, he often becomes anxious because of some trivial things, and in order to protect himself from harm, he chooses to delete everything about the other party, trying to alleviate the inner entanglement and pain through physical "renunciation".
On the other hand, deletion can also be due to disappointment and frustration. When the person you care about disappoints you again and again, or you find that the relationship has become a burden in your life, you will also choose to delete it in order to seek inner peace and self-protection. The deletion at this time is a kind of renunciation of past emotions, in order to free oneself from pain and find a new balance in life.
However, for whatever reason, deletion is not the fundamental solution to the problem, it is just an emotional response we make in a particular situation. What really cares is the courage to face problems, the willingness to communicate and understand, and the mutual respect to protect and manage that relationship together. Sometimes, retention is for memory, deletion is for forgetting; But more often than not, understanding and inclusion are the keys to maintaining emotion.
Overall, the phrase "delete because you care" is not absolute, it may be an escape from over-care, or it can be a letting go after a build-up of disappointment. But in any case, we should all recognize that no form of "delete" can replace face-to-face and honest communication, and only through effective communication can we truly understand and care for each other.
