Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) is coming soon. Single people scrolling through their phones, are you ready to be bombarded with sweet messages from couples on your social media?
Looking at the smiling photos of couples, many people probably think to themselves, "They're always showing off their love, they'll break up soon." However, in reality, showing off your love doesn't necessarily mean you'll break up quickly.
What you perceive as "showing affection" isn't really about "showing off."
Uploading photos of dates, screenshots of money transfer records, showing off Valentine's Day gifts... all the behaviors you see as "showing off your love" on social media are not actually "flaunting".
Often, these seemingly "showy" behaviors are simply couples recording the little things in their lives, a way for them to communicate with each other. This communication method based on social media platforms can actually make communication more effective and deepen the relationship between couples.
After showing off their affection, couples will seriously put their love into practice.
On social media, the moment couples share carefully selected and beautified photos, they have already created a relatively ideal romantic relationship for each other.
In this ideal atmosphere, couples will consciously strive to achieve this ideal, work hard to maintain their relationship, and prove the quality of their love through practical actions. This is also conducive to solidifying the feelings between couples.
Friends' blessings and likes increase the sense of affirmation in the relationship.
After posting pictures and text showing their affection, couples often receive many likes and blessings from relatives and friends.
Encouraged by this, couples will experience a subtle shift in their mindset. They will feel that they have found a wonderful partner that others envy, thus increasing their acceptance of the relationship.
Declaring sovereignty prevented unwanted advances.
When you show off your affection, it's like announcing who has "control" over your partner, and it also means that you are "taken".
In this way, those who are "eagerly eyeing" you or your target will consciously keep their distance and stop bothering you, thus avoiding unwanted attention.
As shown above, couples who flaunt their love aren't necessarily destined to break up quickly. Sometimes, showing affection can actually be beneficial for building, strengthening, and maintaining a relationship. This Qixi Festival, if you're in love, try showing it off!
