Social Media killed romance

So I've been thinking lately, why is it so normalized to treat the person u love like shit?

I'm not saying every person in a relationship does that (I'm in one myself and don't experience it) but I keep watching others complain about their partner.. Cheating has been so normalized, love bombing has been normalized, etc. and all because people forgot to acknowledge their worth, so they let themselves be treated that way.

Did anyone else experience that once? Because I feel like social media and stuff really ruined romance, and I'm not saying it bc it's a "trend" but rather just facts.

I feel like this isn't talked about enough.. there are more people turning into assholes than the other way 'round.

Share ur experiences if u wanna, I'm ready to be absolutely shocked by what people have done to others in relation-/situationships :l

Totally agree with you.
On social media everyone posts about stuff like 1st love theory and that just makes everyone insecure and justifies certain behaviors. Love bombing is a manipulation tactic, but now even if the affection is genuine it gets called love bombing.
No one communicates, they end it at the slightest inconvenience, because today you can be lucky to get into a "situationship". Everyone is having fomo if they make it exclusive.
It's completely unhealthy and people posting stuff like a man will always think about his ex are not helping.

I agree. people think of romance as something cliche that has become an old thing. they think that doing something bad to their partner is a sign of independency and self-worth. when it's completely the opposite.

cheating used to be very rare, and the most common occasions, is when the couple are married and one of them gets tired of the other
NOTE that this was very rare.

meanwhile. now when they're young. they cheat because they want to.

ful honesty. even I'm 16 and I don't even want to date or even think about doing so when I'm over 18 because this ruined generation. it'll probably be rare to find someone who knows what love means.

Even in this ruined world, and even though ur right, dont give up on love. there are still people that know what it means to love. To get to that person is hard, because to find them means to be hurt a few times. But it'll make you grow.

The day will come where u will find the person for u, be patient & dont loose hope (:

I know, I didn't say I'm giving up on it. love is an important side of life.

I just don't want any relationships now or when I can date.

I'm only focused on studying now, being in a relationship at 16 will just make things worse.

and when I am old enough to be in a relationship. I won't be in one unless I found the person that I'd know would love me as much as I do, cause I'm pretty romantic and I dont want to love someone who doesn't love me as much as I do or love be back atleast.

You’re right, I feel the same way. I have the impression that today’s social media don’t ruin just romance, but also relationships between people in general.

I think social media ruined everything, from new insecurities to have every few months bc the internet just constantly thinks of new ways to make people feel bad about themselves, to relationships, to friendship and everything. It gives people trust issues and more and more people become depressed because the people in this world choose to go down the path of discrimination bc of every single unimportant thing

Honestly I think you shouldn't feel that bad, it's new to u and it's a fckd up generation.. you'll change over time after you figure out how and have the person that can show u what it means to love deeply and how to express it
