Relationships are not what they once used to be. The way that people interact with each other has changed from the way people once interacted with each other. Relationships have become more superficial and are not entirely happy. People put up with one another as a formality and do not have the ability to tell someone when they do not enjoy their friendship. Moreover, everyone’s perception of relationships has changed for the worst. People call each other their “BFFs” so loosely that the term no longer carries any special connotation in today’s society. All of our “friends” on Facebook are also another example of how friendships have become much more fake. Lastly, boyfriend and girlfriend relationships have changed as well and are regarded much more loosely.
A flashing text message from “BFF1” blares on the screen. Responding quickly, suddenly a message from “BFF6” arrives. Wait. Exactly what does “BFF” stand for? Best friends forever, right?! How can someone have multiple different best friends who will last forever? The truth is that the title “BFF” has deteriorated from what it once used to mean. Before, a best friend was someone whom you could trust with all your secrets, feelings, and emotions. A bff was someone who would have your back in any situation, no matter how rough things got. Nowadays, the term is used much more loosely and is not as special of a title as it once used to be. Most of these “best friends” will not even be around next year when they move out of your classes. It is slightly ridiculous to see the deterioration of this title; however, it is obvious that it does not mean what it once used to. Moreover, this is an indication of how relationships are starting to become more superficial.
Arriving home from school, we open our Facebook page and see 13 new friend requests, nine of which are people we've only seen once or twice in our life. Oh well, it would be disrespectful to deny these people friendship so we go ahead and add them. Unsure of what impact these friends will have on our lives, we go ahead and allow people who can pretty much be considered strangers to be our “friends.” In my opinion that is slightly ridiculous because then people try to add as many “friends” as they can find in an attempt to look cool on Facebook by being the person with the most friends. Tools such as Facebook have also worked to deteriorate interpersonal relationships and have made them significantly more impersonal between people.
Another part of interpersonal relationships which have deteriorated, in my opinion, is the relationship between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. In today’s society it seems that people get into relationships because they are either insecure and need someone to look out for them, or because they want to experience something new. Most of these couples know that they will not last for a very long time and as a result they do not put as much effort into the relationship. This is absurd because people go into relationships expecting the worst and usually do not end up satisfied. Moreover, many people have no rational reason for being in a relationship with the person that they “like” and as a result the relationship brings more sadness then happiness for the individuals involved.
As a whole, interpersonal relationships have significantly deteriorated from how they used to be. They are not as meaningful anymore and instead they focus more on absurd things.
