Would you treat your car like a girl for a conversation? Or will your boyfriend? Or do you stand in front of the mountains and forests, feeling as if nature consciously talks to you often? How strong is this belief in your mind? Each of us will to some extent view some inanimate objects in the eyes of others as objects that can be talked about. Some things are like images of life, but they may be made of cloth, so you think you can talk to them, but some things just don't look like creatures, but you still establish a relationship with them and have a kind of interdependence.
Variety show always like to laugh at crazy men and always treat their cars as their girlfriends. They describe car washing as an act of love, a kind of caring. They may spend more time washing cars than cleaning their bodies. We often treat this kind of behavior as a joke, feeling absurd in our hearts, but it is inevitable that everyone takes care of something beyond the way they treat people, talks, and even feels that they have emotions and loyalty to themselves.
This may be the so-called anthropomorphic beliefs, which, like most people's personalities, have varying degrees. Some people are particularly prone to developing emotions similar to humans with objects, but others do not. Some people like to describe objects using human characteristics, while others do not. People who like to use anthropomorphic beliefs may say that their items are 'loyal', 'cute', 'obedient', and so on, even if they are lifeless and do not represent anything in the eyes of others.
Since being like a person means having emotions
That's right, since we treat certain things as adults, we tend to develop feelings towards them. It's not a so-called love for objects, but a kind of dependence similar to that of people. When we have it, there is a sense of security and freedom. When we separate, we must experience the pain of separation, just like when we separate from others.
Psychology tends to use the concept of 'attachment' when it comes to interpersonal relationships, which originated from Dr. Harlow's early research on monkeys. Simply put, we are born with some kind of connection with people who mainly take care of ourselves, which varies in quality based on the way we interact. Some people are anxious and unstable when interacting with caregivers, while others are comfortable and safe when interacting with caregivers.
But the spirit of the concept of 'attachment' mainly aims to explain that the establishment of relationships comes from the early stages of life, and many subsequent theories have developed so-called interpersonal differences, known as the 'attachment' style, which will continue to have more or less influence in various stages of our lives.
'Attachment' can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the so-called 'safe attachment', and the other is the so-called 'unsafe attachment'. People with safe attachment will say, 'I can always easily get close to someone, and when I get along, I can also be very comfortable without too much worry or fear of losing something or losing something because of getting along.'. But 'unsafe attachment' can be subdivided into more types, including anxiety attachment and avoidance attachment.
People who are anxious and attached often feel that when they are with others, they will worry about their other half in their hearts, imagine feeling unloved, feel particularly uneasy when separated and lost, and therefore fear the occurrence of separation.
People who avoid attachment tend to be less likely to develop intimate relationships with others, as they may experience discomfort when interacting with anxious individuals. Avoiding individuals use their actions to avoid the potential harm of getting along, making it difficult for them to trust others and afraid of getting too close to them.
You can also develop some emotional attachment with your phone because it's like an extension of someone
So when people interact with each other, they may develop a certain attachment state, and when we view our phones as something similar to humans in our own lives, we also develop a certain attachment state towards them. On the surface, this may seem like a state of dependence on a mobile phone, but in reality, the state of a mobile phone is more complex because too many interpersonal interactions nowadays are completed through a mobile phone, which is also a channel for communication and interaction. Therefore, the attachment state to a certain person may also be extended to a mobile phone through anthropomorphic thinking, just like a mobile phone is also a tool for the other person to speak.
Interestingly, psychologists ponder through these two psychological concepts whether our attachment to mobile phones is also related to human attachment. If you are a secure dependent person, how would you treat your phone? And if you are an anxious dependent person, how would you treat your phone. And this may explain why we are so anxious and anxious about our phones, or perhaps why some people can easily disconnect from them.
Psychologist Bodford believes that people who experience anxiety attachment to their phones are indeed more likely to personify them as the only channel for interpersonal interaction or imagined agents. This type of anxiety attachment to a mobile phone has an anxious desire to obtain a reply or answer, and such people are usually more anxious attachment in interpersonal interaction. They are more likely to imagine in their minds that the other party did not reply to messages or emails due to certain negative factors, and because they are prone to anxiety and anxiety about the reply status, they often want to check their phone and read the messages and information on it.
In fact, this kind of relationship may be bidirectional. When you have this kind of addiction like anxiety about your phone, you always want to reply to messages or see others' replies in the first place. Therefore, you are very anxious and keep checking your phone, sliding it all the time. It may be because you are also in this state when dealing with people. You are afraid of separation, and you may want to approach people, but you cannot get along comfortably when approaching, You will have an imagination and anxiety that the relationship will not go smoothly.
So it can be said that when you are always anxious about using your phone, you will be very anxious when you don't have a phone, and also when others haven't responded. You are always sliding your phone, passing messages, and exploring possible new developments in others, which may reflect how you actually talk about emotions in daily life. You treat your phone as an adult, a certain part of an adult, so you become anxious and uneasy about it, Because you are such a person who is anxious about getting along with others, you will consider your phone as the object that can make you uneasy.
