Showing too much affection to people causes more suffering.
The importance of relationships in human life is immense. Love, affection and care bring people closer to each other. However, excessive affection sometimes becomes a cause of suffering in life. It destroys our mental peace and creates imbalance in relationships. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a balance between affection and love. Affection and love are an innate quality in the heart of every human being. It makes people sensitive and humane. Affection towards family, friends, and loved ones makes our life beautiful and meaningful. But when the level of affection becomes excessive, it can also go the opposite way. Excessive affection can create problems not only for others but also for oneself.
Excessive affection often increases the level of expectations. When we love someone excessively, we expect the same level of love from them, but expectations are not always met. This imperfection causes us emotional distress. Many times, we show affection to people who do not value us. In this, we only get disappointed. To make a relationship beautiful and long-lasting, respect and mutual understanding are needed alongside affection. Excessive affection often interferes with the freedom of others. This can cause them irritation and create distance in the relationship. Therefore, along with affection, one should understand one's own limits and respect the personal space of others.
One of the main reasons for excessive affection is the lack of self-love. We often get so busy pleasing others that we forget about ourselves. But taking care of ourselves and loving ourselves is essential for our mental health. It increases our self-esteem and helps maintain balance in relationships. There are some steps that can be taken to avoid the suffering that comes from excessive affection. First, we need to lower our expectations. Every person is different and we should not expect the same behavior from everyone. Second, it is important to value yourself and take time for yourself. Third, maintaining transparency in relationships and talking openly can solve problems.
Affection and love are essential parts of our lives, but excessive affection brings suffering and frustration into our lives. Maintaining balance in relationships and loving ourselves can protect our mental peace. So let's keep affection and love in a balanced level so that relationships are beautiful and long-lasting. Before showing excessive affection, think about whether it is really necessary. Sometimes, less affection can be good for us in the long run.
