“You are the best thing”, is a magical mantra to remove all your problems. We often fail to recognize the importance of our loved ones. They do so much for us, yet their efforts go unrecognized. We tend to overlook the value of individuals and fail to appreciate their contributions. People always seem uninterested and indifferent, leaving the relationship in a state of uncertainty. Mental health issues are increasing because individuals do not feel appreciated for who they are.
We witness fractured relationships between spouses, parents, and colleagues. Sadly, this is not a modern phenomenon, humankind has always been ungrateful. People in the past were more likely to settle for unsatisfying relationships due to limited exposure. Contemporary society has paid a high cost for the advancements in technology, resulting in shallow relationships.
Nowadays, people tend to rely on the like button to express their opinions. Appreciation is a key aspect of maintaining healthy relationships. A lack of appreciation in relationships can lead to dissatisfaction and neglect. When someone’s contributions are not acknowledged, it can lead to emotional distance, frustration, and less enthusiasm in relationships. They tend to question the authenticity and sincerity of their bond, which can cause the trust to erode. Not expressing appreciation towards loved ones can have negative consequences for relationships and the individuals involved. It is important to actively express gratitude and appreciation to maintain strong, healthy, and fulfilling relationships with loved ones.
