Tinerii își doresc relații, dar se tem de intimitate. Psihologul explică cum îi influențează rețelele sociale

Young people desire relationships but fear intimacy due to social media influences. Psychologist Anca Boalcă explains that the fear of rejection and the pressure for perfection hinder genuine connections. While the desire for intimacy exists, many struggle with vulnerability and the risk of rejection. Online interactions provide an escape, making it easier to disengage than to face real-life challenges. This issue affects not only the younger generation but also older individuals who are drawn to social media. The need for control and the fear of inadequacy are common across age groups. Therapy can help, but it often requires a year for meaningful change.
