The scariest thing is when relatives immediately ask: Are you married? How much do you earn? Have you bought a house???: Right. In the eyes of elders, these questions show concern, but for young people, the pressure is really heavy.??: Especially now, with unstable jobs and high housing prices, being constantly compared makes it easy to feel “unsuccessful.”??: From a social perspective, this is actually a difference in values between generations. The older generation is used to measuring life by fixed standards.??: That’s why experts advocate the “three no-questions”—talk more about life experiences and avoid labeling.??: In the end, the meaning of the Spring Festival is reunion, not giving each other an ‘annual performance review.’??: Exactly. If we express our care more gently, the New Year will feel much more comfortable.
