Soft Breakup: What is the new trend of Gen Z? Soft way to distance yourself from your partner without fighting, know its advantages and disadvantages

News India Live, Digital Desk: In earlier times, breakup meant blocking, shouting on the phone or crying for weeks. But ‘soft breakup’ has changed this whole process. This is a way in which there is no “explosion”, rather the relationship slowly dies its death.1. What is ‘Soft Breakup’? In soft breakup, two people do not hate each other, nor do they say anything bitter. They just slowly start withdrawing from each other’s lives. Mutual Distance: Conversations become less frequent, calls are replaced by texts, and plans to meet up slowly get postponed. No Drama Policy: There are no formal ‘we need to talk’ serious meetings. The relationship simply ends at its own natural pace.2. How is this different from ‘ghosting’? People often confuse it with ‘ghosting’ (disappearing without notice), but there is a big difference between the two: Ghosting: You suddenly stop responding, leaving the other person confused and sad. Soft breakup: Here both partners subconsciously know that things are coming to an end. They maintain respect for each other but leave romance behind.3. Signs of ‘Soft Breakup’Social media interaction: You stop liking each other’s posts or reply to stories less. Soft exit: Instead of hanging out on weekends, you start spending more time with your friends. Deep conversations end: Conversations are now limited to ‘weather’ or ‘work’ only, emotional connect is lost.4. Why is this trend increasing? Mental Health: Gen Z wants to avoid bitterness and mental stress. They do not want the breakup to take away their peace. Maintaining friendship: The biggest advantage of a soft breakup is that you can remain ‘just friends’ or ‘acquaintances’ in the future.5. Is this method correct? (Expert Opinion) Psychologists believe that it can also have some disadvantages: Lack of closure: Sometimes one partner feels that there is still hope left, while the other has moved on. Prolonged period: It can take a long time to separate without talking clearly, which makes it difficult to move on.
