花, I recently saw a term called “Spring Festival anxiety,” saying many young people feel nervous just thinking about going home.

I’m not surprised. The scariest thing is when relatives immediately ask: Are you married? How much do you earn? Have you bought a house?

Right. In the eyes of elders, these questions show concern, but for young people, the pressure is really heavy.

Especially now, with unstable jobs and high housing prices, being constantly compared makes it easy to feel “unsuccessful.”

From a social perspective, this is actually a difference in values between generations. The older generation is used to measuring life by fixed standards.

That’s why experts advocate the “three no-questions”—talk more about life experiences and avoid labeling.

In the end, the meaning of the Spring Festival is reunion, not giving each other an ‘annual performance review.’

Exactly. If we express our care more gently, the New Year will feel much more comfortable.
