The Spring Festival made me realize that it's not easy to survive without strength, what is hypocrisy then? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Hello UUs who saw the message, the arrival of the Spring Festival has made me realize that it's indeed not easy to get by without strength. There's this feeling when I see others dressed or using things better than me; then another feeling is, I'm quite conflicted. I'm preparing for exams but can't seem to study. What's going on? (How to adjust emotions) I feel like I'm always making a mountain out of a molehill, tying myself in knots.

Hello! I'm thrilled to answer your question. I hope my suggestions will be helpful!

When we visit relatives and friends during the New Year, we will indeed make a lot of comparisons, and these comparisons will bring pressure on ourselves. But at the same time, we should also think about it the other way around: when we feel pressure, the other person actually also feels pressure, because each of us compares from the heart in a different way. And that's what makes us all so unique!

For example, some of us love to compare clothes! We'll say, "Wow, this person is rocking some pretty snazzy threads!"

Some people compare red envelopes. For example, if someone else's family can give a 1,000 yuan red envelope, but our family can only give 500 yuan, they will feel that the other family must have earned more than us this year.

For example, I don't really care about this. My hobbies are probably more towards the second dimension. When visiting relatives and friends, I see the children of my relatives, and there are many action figures in their rooms or in their bookcases. At this time, I also feel a lot of pressure, but it's a good kind of pressure!

In turn, when I go to pay attention to the child's hand-made items and admire them a lot, the child may also be paying attention to how I dress. For example, my younger sister also really likes Hanfu, but she doesn't have any herself. When she sees how I dress, she also feels envious that I have these things, but she doesn't. And you know what? Adults may also compare like this!

So when we feel pressure, we can use this method to relieve ourselves!

For example, when we visit relatives and friends and find that the other person's New Year's clothes are better and more expensive than ours, it's a great opportunity to see where they're spending their money. We can learn a lot from this! Similarly, we spend most of our salary on pleasing ourselves and satisfying our interests, which is a wonderful thing to do.

Comparisons with other relatives are also totally understandable. Nobody's perfect. When a relative is better than us in one aspect, we'll definitely be better than them in another!

Sometimes relatives' praise or gossip is just idle chatter. We should just ignore it sometimes. But here's the thing: will our own parents or partners, our own children, the members of our own little family really care, and will it affect the intimacy of our own family members?

Regarding learning problems, we have the exciting opportunity to sort out our learning situation, combine it with our own learning ability, formulate a learning method, find a learning technique that suits us, make a suitable learning plan, combine work and rest, and relax ourselves appropriately.

If you find yourself stuck during your learning journey, don't fret! Your teacher is there to help. They have the skills and expertise to guide you towards a solution that works for you.

And there's more! You can also actively seek the help of a mental health teacher or a psychological counselor to mediate.

We really hope that with some self-reflection or the help of a professional, you can learn to manage your emotions better. Whether it's visiting relatives during the New Year, social contact, or your own learning situation, you can absolutely find a way to deal with it that suits you!

I love you, world! And I love you, too!

Hello, I'm Zeyu.

We will respond to each of your questions. First, the Spring Festival made me realize that it is not good to be powerless. What is "hypocrisy"?

The question is about hypocrisy. We need to think about the context and what we're asking. If we take it literally, some of our actions might be seen as hypocritical. But we can't just say they're hypocritical or not. We need to see it from other people's perspectives.

The Spring Festival made me realize that not having the strength makes life difficult. It's a feeling you get when you see others with better things. This feeling is normal. It's not a complex. It's just a feeling inside. We can only feel the difference between people. This is not hypocrisy. It's just a feeling inside us. Not having the strength now doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. Just give yourself some time and take it slowly.

The emotions we feel can help us grow if we use them well. For example, the topic mentioned preparing for the exam. We can ask ourselves what the purpose of preparing for the exam is and what goals or plans we're trying to achieve. This can help us decide what to do.

If we can't study, we might as well take a break and do something else. We can study when we're ready. Forcing ourselves to study is inefficient and draining.

Happy New Year, OP!

From what you said, it seems like the Spring Festival didn't go well for you.

The Spring Festival is a time to spend with family and friends, sharing happiness, participating in fun activities, or doing things you like to keep your mind in a good mood and relax.

It's not necessary to pay too much attention to superficial emotions between people. That's not something close friends or casual acquaintances need to worry about either.

The main thing to think about is how you can be happy and enjoy yourself here.

You brought up in the article that it's tough to recognize that you don't have power.

During the Spring Festival, we tend to focus more on each other's achievements and status, which can sometimes feel pressuring and make you think you need a certain level of strength to succeed.

Everyone has their own way of life and values, and there's no need to measure success and happiness against other people's standards. Plus, you can build strength through continuous learning and hard work.

Hypocrisy is usually when someone acts or speaks in a way that's not in line with their true feelings or intentions. It's a way of trying to impress others or achieve a certain goal. From a psychological perspective, "hypocrisy" is a self-protection mechanism that can help people gain more attention and recognition in social situations.

People might act hypocritically to protect their self-esteem and self-confidence when they feel their value and status are threatened.

On the other hand, being a hypocrite can also have a negative impact on relationships and mental health. When we act in a hypocritical way, we may lose sight of who we really are, which can lead to a decline in self-identity and self-worth.

It can also lead to dissatisfaction and resentment in others, which can damage interpersonal relationships.

So, it's best to avoid hypocritical behavior and just be true and honest. When we interact with others, we should respect our own feelings and the needs of others, and not act hypocritically just to gain more attention and recognition.

During the Spring Festival, it's important to feel strong. This can mean having personal abilities, achievements, wealth, or social status.

If you feel like you're not up to par in these areas, it can lead to stress or anxiety. Some people might resort to dishonest behavior, like exaggerating their achievements or pretending to have more resources and abilities, to gain respect or avoid embarrassment.

However, over time, relationships built on hypocrisy can erode trust and lead to the breakdown of intimacy and satisfaction. When faced with hypocrisy, people may develop defense mechanisms like avoidance, suspicion, or aggressive reactions, which can damage the quality of the relationship.

Hypocrites may play different roles to suit different social situations, which can make it hard for them to know who they really are and cause them a lot of stress.

So, it's important to be sincere and open, even if it means facing some challenges or negative social opinions in the short term. Being sincere is the foundation of building strong relationships and trust.

The second question is: I have mixed feelings. I'm preparing for the exam, but I can't study. What's going on? (How do I adjust my emotions?) I feel like I'm always worrying needlessly and getting myself into trouble.

It's totally normal to feel like you can't study during exam prep, or to feel depressed. It's also normal to worry a lot and feel like you're making things worse. But don't worry too much. It's great that you're aware of your emotions.

We can manage our emotions and improve our learning efficiency.

First, figure out why you're struggling to study. Is it because of an ineffective learning method, lack of time management, environmental distractions, or emotional issues?

Second, approach learning with a positive attitude. Look at challenges as chances to grow, not as problems.

Finally, take a look at how you're learning and how you're doing, and make changes when you need to.

The most important thing is to try not to be too hard on ourselves, accept our imperfections, and give ourselves some time to relax and enjoy. At the same time, don't pay too much attention to other people's comments, and believe in your own value and abilities.

We all have different challenges and priorities in life. Don't try to live up to other people's expectations, and don't expect other people to live up to yours.

I love the world and I love you! I wish you happiness!

Good day, question author. Allow me to extend a gesture of encouragement and support.

Your inquiry has been noted. From the context provided in the text, it is evident that the inquirer is experiencing a certain degree of confusion. For further reference, the following information is provided:

1. The concept of "hypocrisy" is multifaceted, encompassing interpersonal dynamics and the alignment of values. In essence, hypocrisy pertains to individuals who espouse one set of beliefs or actions while harboring contrasting thoughts or sentiments internally.

During the Spring Festival, one may observe individuals exhibiting outward displays of affluence and contentment. However, this does not necessarily reflect their intrinsic emotional state. These individuals may also be grappling with personal challenges and difficulties, yet they choose to present themselves in a particular manner.

This does not imply that they are inauthentic; rather, it is a matter of personal choice in how one presents one's life.

2. With regard to the preparation for examinations, it is not uncommon for individuals to experience difficulties in continuing their studies and in adjusting their emotions. The following suggestions may assist in coping with such challenges:

1) It is important to recognize that everyone experiences fluctuations in mood and that this is a normal aspect of human psychology. It is essential to accept these emotions and to avoid being excessively self-critical.

2) It is essential to ensure that you have a clear understanding of your purpose and motivation for studying. This will enable you to revisit these goals when you feel confused or tired, thereby providing you with the motivation you need to persevere.

3) It is recommended that the learning task be divided into smaller, more manageable units, with each unit completed on a daily or weekly basis. This approach can help to reduce stress and make the task more approachable.

4) It is recommended that you share your concerns and feelings with family, friends, or a mentor. They may be able to offer advice or support to assist you in navigating challenging periods.

5) It is imperative to allot oneself sufficient time for rest and relaxation. Excessive pressure can precipitate a decline in mood and diminished efficiency.

It is recommended that you engage in some relaxing activities, such as going for a walk, listening to music, or reading.

6) It is advisable to seek out opportunities for growth and development in the context of adversity. It is important to maintain a positive and patient attitude towards oneself while striving to overcome challenges.

In conclusion, the feelings of "worrying about nothing" and "making a cocoon for oneself" may be a result of an excessive focus on shortcomings and disadvantages, while shortcomings and disadvantages are overlooked. It is recommended to prioritize growth and progress, maintain confidence in one's abilities, and extend tolerance and kindness to oneself.

It is important to recognise that each individual has their own unique rhythm and approach to navigating the challenges of life.

It is my sincere hope that the aforementioned suggestions will prove both inspiring and rewarding for you. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet a better version of yourself, and I am confident that the world will embrace you for who you are.

Dear friends, during festivals like Spring Festival, people often compare their lives with others. When we see that others have better material conditions, we feel some envy or inferiority.

Everyone feels inadequate sometimes. We all have our own rhythm and path. Comparisons are stressful.

You might be experiencing "learning burnout," which is common during long periods of exam preparation.

Your ambivalence may come from wanting to succeed and feeling unhappy with how you're learning. Preparing for exams is hard and requires patience and strategy.

This conflict helps us grow and improve, and it motivates us to learn and stay motivated.

Your comment about "making a cocoon for yourself" shows you understand your emotions. We all feel confused and struggle sometimes.

This is a good place to start. Know your feelings. They're temporary. Use them to understand and improve yourself.

To regulate your emotions and find motivation to study, break down your big learning goals into small ones and reward yourself for each one you complete. Try different learning methods to find the best fit for you.

Study with friends or classmates to encourage and supervise each other.

Everyone learns at their own pace. Don't be too hard on yourself. Give yourself time to adapt.

You can overcome your difficulties and find success. Go for it!

Life can be tough sometimes and it's okay to feel this way. The Spring Festival might highlight our personal challenges more. Comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy, but remember that everyone has their own path. It's important to focus on your journey and what you need to do for yourself.

Feeling conflicted is a natural response when we're under pressure or comparing ourselves to others. It's good that you're aware of these feelings. Try to channel your energy into something productive like setting small, achievable goals for your studies. This can help you gain momentum.

The struggle between wanting to succeed and feeling stuck is real. It might help to talk to someone about how you're feeling. Sometimes just sharing our worries can lighten the load and make things clearer.

Esme Larkin The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

Preparing for exams while dealing with these emotions is challenging. Maybe take a moment to reflect on why you're studying and what you want to achieve. Connecting with your deeper motivations can reignite your passion and determination.

It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and lose sight of what really matters. Take some time for selfcare and relaxation. Doing things you enjoy can reduce stress and improve your mindset towards studying.
