0:00I've heard you say that avoidant culture is changing relationship expectations.

0:05Yes.

0:05How so?

0:06Well, there's a couple of different reasons.

0:08I mean, I think avoidance culture is making people have to minimize themselves because we're interconnected human beings.

0:18We need to be connected to other beings, right?

0:20It regulates our nervous system.

0:22It makes us feel good.

0:23It stabilizes us.

0:24And so nowadays, with everything being expedited, we live in an era of immediacy.

0:30And everything is geared towards reinforcing avoidance versus intimacy.

0:35Everything is about instant gratification, getting results right away.

0:42And so people, especially emotionally available people, which is who I largely work with as far as my clientele, they're noticing that they're lowering their standards in order to keep a relationship.

0:53And so the only way that now people see an opportunity for a relationship or maintaining a relationship is by changing their standards.
