Spend money to remove the "love brain"? Seeking psychological adjustment and being wary of being harvested for "anxiety tax" shopping | love | psychology
Recently, the movie "The Disappearing She" is being released, sparking discussions among netizens about the "love brain". At the same time, chat services on shopping websites have once again become popular. According to reports, in order to help customers "completely eliminate their love brain", customer service representatives not only provide comfort and persuasion, but also offer "wake-up call" services.
Although this business doesn't have much threshold, the profits are really good. A shop owner said that the prices for different levels of chat guides vary, and the Koi chat guide charges 100 yuan for half an hour "Our daily income in the store can reach as low as three to four hundred yuan, with a monthly income of ten to twenty thousand yuan. In addition to" therapy "teaching people love, virtual products are constantly emerging on e-commerce platforms.". Einstein's Brain sold over 6000 orders per month during the exam season; "Offer good luck spray", "kao bian ashore fu" and other prayer tools are very popular; In order to gain recognition from others, they spent money to join the "bragging group"... From examination and job hunting to making friends in marriage, this group of young people can be said to have traveled all over the Internet to seek medical advice. Some netizens laughed at themselves, "The main thing is to be honest."
Speaking of which, few people believe that chatting for half a day can make emotional life smoother, let alone take "50 cents transplanted into a genius brain" seriously. Everyone is willing to spend money on these virtual products, but more importantly, they want to seek a spiritual self reconciliation. After all, the current pace of social life is too fast and the uncertainty is too high. Young people have a need and desire for upward mobility, but they inevitably encounter setbacks and pressure during their growth process. At such times, if there is really a way to vent emotions and entertain oneself, it is also a good thing.
However, it should be noted that under the viral spread of social media and the overwhelming amount of internet memes, "water rebellion", "fear", and "victimization" seem to be ubiquitous, adding a touch of suspicion and gloom to an already tense life. Some so-called content that provides emotional value, provides psychological counseling, and talks about the path of life actually exacerbates this anxiety. For example, on some social media platforms, the "rejection brain" that was originally meant to advise people not to lose themselves in love and marriage has evolved into an infinite demonization of love and marriage, filling the "graveyard feeling"; Persuading people to maintain "relaxation" was originally intended to prevent internal friction, but it has evolved into teaching people to "show off". There is a big question mark about whether all of this is healing or misleading, whether it is encouraging people to broaden their horizons or selling extremist products.
For contemporary young people, cyberspace provides us with more self-healing options, seeking temporary comfort, and also giving ourselves a space to breathe and buffer. But please never give up on self reflection and value judgment. We must eventually return to reality and seek more practical solutions. Ultimately, understanding self adjustment and placing expectations for the future on oneself is essential to avoid being burdened by anxiety. Otherwise, if I had to work hard to cure my "love brain" today, I might have another "incurable disease" tomorrow.
