Good day,
I am writing in response to your query.
You are experiencing feelings of anxiety and restlessness, accompanied by a lack of emotional control. It is evident that you are confused and uncertain about this situation.
I appreciate that this is a confusing situation.
A careful reading of your post will reveal part of the answer, or perhaps even the whole answer. I would now like to
I will assist you in analyzing the situation.
The situation of being single in your thirties and working in a foreign country, coupled with the desire for marriage and
The desire for a family may be the initial source of anxiety.
Firstly, the anxiety expressed in the aforementioned post regarding the lack of marriage among your younger brother may also be indicative of your own concerns regarding your romantic life and future marriage.
This sentiment is a direct result of the societal pressure placed on older young people to marry.
Secondly, the material presents the sense of relief derived from the fact that your sister and younger sister are already married.
It can serve as a compensation for regret at not being married, but it also reflects the pressure that is faced in marriage.
Third, your discussion of a lack of confidence in marriage and a sense of rejection serves to reinforce the fear of marriage and the desire for marriage.
Furthermore, the emotional distress caused by repeated unsuccessful blind dates has triggered anxiety, exacerbating feelings of sadness and depression.
To summarize, you are uncertain about how to navigate intimate relationships, which impacts your dating and romantic life, as well as how to enter.
What is the best way to overcome anxiety about marriage and family?
What is the best way to break this pattern?
First, it is essential to understand your attachment pattern, as this shapes the way you form intimate relationships.
Pattern.
Let us begin with a brief overview of the various attachment patterns.
The first attachment pattern is secure.
This attachment pattern is typical of most people.
The child has a positive relationship with his mother and will seek out his mother when they are separated. When they are reunited,
This sadness and anxiety is then alleviated. In this attachment mode, parents can carefully observe the needs of their children.
The child is provided with adequate care and the parents maintain a consistent and supportive attitude towards them. The child is aware that their parents can see, understand and accept them, which instils a sense of security.
Even when separation from parents is unavoidable, children can quickly adapt and recover after a brief period of distress. Parents can foster this resilience in their children.
"It's okay, my parents will return at some point."
The second is ambivalent attachment.
When parents separate from their children, the children will display more pronounced resistance, including crying and screaming, and exhibit a high level of sadness.
Some parents' emotions are erratic, fluctuating between positive and negative states. When in a positive mood, they may offer a candy, but when in a negative mood, they may resort to a slap.
Over time, this will result in the child feeling uncertain and unable to discern the reasons behind their parents' fluctuating attitudes. They will also be unsure of how to meet their parents' expectations.
Furthermore, children who have been exposed to this environment may also display unstable emotions. This is a common occurrence among left-behind children who have been separated from their parents.
To prevent their parents from leaving, the child stops traffic, breaks free from the grandparents' grasp, and uses all his strength to beg them not to leave.
The child is aware that the parent is leaving for a minimum of one year. The distressing nature of the separation motivates the child to take action to prevent the parent from leaving.
However, when the New Year or a holiday approaches and the child is aware that their parents will be returning, they undergo a significant change in behavior. The child will act in a demanding and entitled manner, seeking the attention and approval of their parents.
Furthermore, they exhibit concern regarding the subsequent occasion of their parents' departure. "If I express my distress through crying and screaming, perhaps they will reconsider their decision to leave."
The third category is that of the avoidant attachment pattern.
In the event of a separation from their mothers, children with this attachment pattern react calmly.
This type of child displays minimal attachment behavior and exhibits a lack of emotional response, including a reluctance to cry or make a fuss. Despite this, they do engage in exploratory behavior.
This "exploration" is merely the repetition of inconsequential actions, rather than genuine interest.
Many parents are often preoccupied with work and may not dedicate sufficient attention to their children's emotional needs. Over time, children may learn to avoid their parents.
As a result, they are no longer expressing their needs, becoming indifferent to those around them, and no longer holding onto hope. This avoidance is driven by a sense of self-preservation.
These self-protection mechanisms are adopted by children to avoid emotional distress. One such mechanism is the belief that by forgetting about sadness, one can avoid feeling sad.
The fourth attachment pattern is disorganized (disordered).
Children with a disorganized attachment pattern exhibit ambivalent emotional responses when separated from their parents. On the one hand, they display reluctance.
Furthermore, they exhibit heightened vigilance towards their parents. This is due to the child's awareness that the parent they are attached to is the very person who is persecuting them.
They may intend to embrace the other person with open arms, but then shrink back or cover their mouths to muffle any sounds they make, even when they are in pain.
It may appear that the child is behaving in an atypical manner, but in reality, it is the parents' own emotional or behavioral issues that are the root cause.
The parents' lack of care and consistent scolding of the children causes the children to suffer. The children perceive a lack of love from their parents.
These four attachment patterns differ in terms of the emotions and reactions of caregivers. Additionally, the internal working models reflected in different attachment relationships vary.
This will subsequently impact the development of emotions, behaviors, personality, and cognitive abilities such as attention and memory.
It should be noted that people's attachment patterns are not fixed. During the growth process, attachment patterns will change in response to contact with different people.
This process can result in different changes, including alterations to the attachment pattern. In particular, when the subsequent growth environment is relatively stable,
If the individual experiences minimal stress and adversity and progresses smoothly in all areas, the initial insecure attachment may evolve into a secure one.
It is important to note that a person's early attachment model affects the development of their personality. As an adult, they may still exhibit behaviors that are influenced by this model.
This model is based on the following assumptions:
Furthermore, you have indicated that your perception is a pessimistic cognitive model that tends to anticipate the worst from others. Given this outlook, it is understandable that you
This pattern consistently drives individuals to distance themselves from others.
What is the best way to break this pattern?
It should be noted that both the insecure attachment pattern and the pessimistic cognitive pattern are manifestations of a subconscious rejection and disapproval of the self.
It is therefore important to consider how you can accept and identify yourself. To achieve this, you should use dynamic analysis to identify your
The experience of frustration at a certain age in terms of psychological age will resolve the issue caused by the stagnation of mental age.

Life can be really tough when you're facing so many challenges at once. It's okay to feel lost and unsure, but remember that it's never too late to make changes. You've got the courage to acknowledge your struggles, which is already a big step forward. Maybe starting small, like setting little goals for personal growth or seeking support from friends or professionals, could help you gain some momentum.
I understand how overwhelming everything must feel right now. The pressure of societal expectations, family responsibilities, and personal desires can weigh heavily on one's shoulders. But try not to be too hard on yourself. Consider focusing on what you can control, like your own happiness and wellbeing. Perhaps exploring new hobbies or interests might open up unexpected opportunities and bring some joy into your life.
It sounds like you carry a lot of worries about your family and future. It's admirable that you're so concerned about your parents and brother, yet it's also important to take care of yourself. Have you thought about discussing your feelings with someone close to you? Sometimes sharing our burdens can lighten them. Also, there are online communities and forums where people share similar experiences; they might offer comfort and advice.
Feeling stuck in a rut is such a common experience, especially when we set high standards for ourselves. It's okay to not have all the answers right away. What might help is breaking down your concerns into manageable pieces. For instance, if changing jobs feels daunting, perhaps look into professional development courses or networking events within your current field. Baby steps can lead to bigger changes over time, and it's alright to ask for help along the way.
