  • Dig into the Romeo and Juliet Effect, which describes the tendency to find someone more desirable when met by parental opposition.
    --
    In 1972, psychologists at the University of Colorado surveyed 140 couples to determine whether a relationship facing parental disapproval was more likely to strengthen or crumble under the pressure. Can long-term success of a romantic relationship be predicted by the perceived approval or disapproval of the couple’s friends and family? Dig into the trend known as the Romeo and Juliet Effect.

    It depends on the reason. Some people are actually capable of feeling out a person accurately on sight. If my parent could do this, and explained to me what they were seeing in someone I was interested in, I would definitely consider it. But if the reason was based on personal prejudices or racism absolutely not.

      No! I'm sorry but i disagree.. you can never make out a person even close enough by just seeing them! It takes time... like introverts are just extroverts with lots of boundaries.. once you known them you won't even feel as if they're introverts.. there are many more examples

      I agree but also when you're in "love" is really hard to consider other people opinions.
      Other times the reason could be valid but not for you. My mom didn't like my boyfriend because of the economic situation of him and his parents (my family was upper-mid class while my bf was lower-mid). She also stated the fact that she prefered me to choose a Chinese boyfriend because they "work harder". Yeah, I got what she meant, but there's no way I could be understood by a Chinese person since I have a western culture, plus I am the one responsible for my own money, plus I'm in love with my boyfriend.

      @@NOOBCRASTINATOR69 I think there are facial features that tell you if a person is shy or happy or thoughtfull or kind. I can always tell that sort of thing about a person from their face and if my perception doesn't match something I later learn about zhe person then I just change my opinion, though that rarely happen. A face is helpful for generalizing a person, like you can zell is someone is a nerd or a social/ popular person from their face, like if you look around it is a certain type of face that nerds have. You can't determine anything specific about a person but general info is always good. I belive that it has something to do with the fact that if you smile a lot that will show on your face and so is being stuck in thought, therefore you can determine the general personality of a person by their face.

    I think this topic is more complicated than it's being presented as. As much as parents, friends, etc., can object to a romantic partner for petty reasons, they're also (assuming you have a good relationship with them) trusted outsiders to the relationship who are more likely to spot potential red flags before you from within the relationship.

    People disapprove of romantic partners because they can usually see something you cannot, because of your proximity to the partner. So instead of throwing a tantrum, like an infant, it is worth a little introspection into the relationship and discern if you can see what they are seeing.

    In a healthy, functional family the parents don't try to tell their kids who they can or can't love. They teach their kids healthy relationship skills and then accept their choices, are supportive, and try hard to build and maintain the type of mutually respectful relationship with their kids where the kids feel comfortable talking to the parents as consultants if/when the kids have concerns and issues they aren’t sure how to navigate on their own as well as be willing to listen if the parents think they might see red flags and point them out.

    The two studies aren’t in conflict. The social network theory tells us that approval from family/friends is more likely to make a relationship last, but for the few relationships that last from disapproval, survivorship bias kicks in. Of course the relationships that have survived the wear and tear of social network disapproval will be a stronger bond than an average relationship

    Five years ago, I met a nerd boy while I'm at an art gallery (his name was Thomas). It was my first time being at a gallery, but I didn't knew anything about art. Luckily, he was there and he taught me everything about art: history, famous artists, well-known paintings and sculptures,... I was grateful for his help. Later in high school, during my freshman year, I found out that he was in the same school as me. We met at the school library, and we recognised each other quickly. We both sat down and have a chat together while reading art history books. We would do that every school days, soon became friends and study partners. After a few months getting to know each other, I had a full glimpse of his identity: he was a talented artist, a huge anime fan, a studious guy who could pass every tests with high marks, a great presenter, a hidden singer,... I also found out about our similarities: our favourite food (spaghetti), our habit (don't like sleeping at noon), our art and singing talent, our love for English,etc. Turns out we have more in common than we thought. I quickly had feelings for him. That's when I realized I had a crush on him. I wanted to confess to him right away. So one day I decided to ask him out at the same art gallery where I met him. Then we secretly became a couple, and still followed the same study routine. One day, he took me on a date at his fav restaurant. All of a sudden, he surprised me with the news: he became the president of the art club and both of us became members of the artsy clique. Ofc, I congradulated him for the good news. I asked him what he would do if he was the president. He asked me if I wanted to be the secretary. I immediately said yes. To wrap up the conversation, he shared his dream of flying to France to study art. I said travelling to France was my dream as well. Before we went home, I gave him a small gift - a snow globe with a mini Eiffel tower inside. During our sophomore year, we would go on many date nights, visit each other's homes, go on picnics or camping trips... while still focused on studying. I thought our relationship would last for a long time, but then things would take a turn for the worst on one fine day in my junior year, when my parents found out about it. My parents and I argued over it for days. At the same time, my friendship with Tom started to crumble and eventually it broke apart. We became enemies and would fight every time we come in contact with each other. My teacher noticed it and call my parents to inform the situation. My parents tried changing classes then moving schools, but that didn't work. In the end, we have no choice but move from the UK to the US (California) and study university there. I missed him dearly, even when we were rivals, but all I could do was hold back my emotions and regret. Still, I couldn't keep in touch w/ him nor write emails to him until now. In fact, we haven't spoken since we graduated high school. If only I can meet him again and apologize to him 😢😭

    I've always been interested in the subject of how much our parents' perspectives should go into our decisions and how much of an impact they should have on our lives. It's important for us to trust ourselves and make decisions that are best for us, and the speaker makes a great point about how our parents might not always comprehend our diverse experiences and viewpoints. After all, parents usually compare our lives to those they led when they were younger, but because times are always changing, our experiences cannot be compared. Although we should always be honest and open with our parents, we should never allow them make decisions for ourselves.

You can trust and respect their judgement without having to follow their every advice Even if you have a great connection and relationship with your parents you shouldn't blindly follow everything they think, you can take their advice to heart but the ultimate decision comes from *your* own judgement especially for something as important as this.

    • @e-ben616
      @e-ben616 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Actually goes both ways. Your parents should love you and trust your judgements even if they don't always come to the same conclusion.
      If they have faith that they raised you right then should they not trust what choices you make? It took a lot of work but I got my parents to learn to trust my choices. What they do is to point out to me factors which they think I may have missed and I take notice of these corrections but the decision should ultimately be mine even if I'm making a wrong choice.

    Depending on how ready they are to give up existing comforts and change the status quo of important existing relationships, I would assume that for young people, at least, the negative impact on quality of life that comes with acting against their provider will play a significant role in whether or not they decide to gamble on continuing the disagreeable relationship. Speaking as someone who has experienced every role in this scenario at least once, I would say that although a sense of independence and critical thought are vitally important to personal growth, it's also critical to pay attention to the counsel of others when offered from a place of love and to draw lessons from the experiences of others in order to avoid making the same mistakes they did.

    Depending on how well your relationship is with your parents, as natural role models to their children, children tend to imitate their parents behaviour and to take their words as facts. Because of this, if a parent was to disapprove of someone, it could turn you off them because you're brought up to believe your parents.

    The lesson is: try to self-reflect and understand the reasoning behind your actions. If you act in defiance to a parent/power, then you are still being controlled by your "oppressor", just in covert way.
    To truly be free, understand what you want and take action based off of that. Even if you do end up getting a body full of tattoos/marrying the person your family doesn't like, the reasoning wasn't out of defiance, but because that choice fulfilled a desire you had.

    @wsviolets 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I find that just telling someone not to do something encourages them to do it, but if I explain why I want them to stop doing something, they're more likely to listen. For example, I'm very sensitive to noise. If people are being loud around me, I tend to have a hard time. When I've asked people to quiet down without explaining why, they just get louder. However, when I explained to them that the reason I was asking was because the loud noises were causing me pain/discomfort, they apologized and quieted down.
    I once read a post about a parent who would explain to their child why they weren't doing something, but had a deal where if the child was in danger, there was a word they could say for the child to trust their judgement and go with them with the knowledge that the parent would explain afterward.

They strongly disapproved, which wasn't a surprise (you already sort of know) but put me in a very difficult situation. I almost broke up with my bf based on the conversation since I value and respect my parents' opinion, but lately I'm realising how much of a narcissist my dad is and how in some ways he doesn't regard me at all.
