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, a breakup meant blocking, yelling 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 a 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 start decreasing, calls are replaced by only texts and plans to meet gradually start getting postponed.

No Drama Policy: There is no formal ‘we need to talk’ serious meeting. The relationship just ends at its natural pace.

2. How is it different from ‘ghosting’?

People often confuse this with ‘ghosting’ (disappearing without notice), but there is a big difference between the two:

Ghosting: You suddenly stop answering, due to which the other person remains 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 reduce replying to stories.

Soft Exit: Instead of staying together on weekends, you start spending more time with your friends.

Deep things over: Conversations are now limited to just ‘weather’ or ‘work’, the emotional connect is lost.

4. Why is this trend increasing?

Mental Health: Gen Z wants to avoid bitterness and mental stress. They don’t 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 may also have some disadvantages:

Lack of Closure: Sometimes one partner feels that there is still hope left, while the other has moved on.

Long stretches: Breaking up without talking clearly can take a long time, making the move-on difficult.
