Marriage is not a mandatory standard to measure the value of a person. Today's young people need to have the right to choose their own life - not feel inferior, not afraid of being labeled as "unstable" or "over old".
Psychologist Mai Viet Duc - Center for Consulting and Psychotherapy of Human Resources and Environment of Hoa Viet, shares practical advice to help young people remove invisible pressure from society and find peace in their own journey.
Re-defining personal success
Success should not be limited in getting married. A meaningful life is when you live up to your values, know what you want and feel satisfied with that, whether single or married.
Identifying and removing false trust
Not being married in your 30s or 35s is not a failure. It does not mean that you are "less expensive" or "no one chooses".
Those prejudices only make you judge yourself incorrectly and make wrong decisions.
Focus on self-development
Instead of worrying about love, spend time improving your skills, exploring the world and taking care of your mental health.
When you are happy with yourself, you will naturally become attractive - without having to try to "belong to someone".
Building a network of friends with the same vision
An active network of friends, understanding and supporting your life choices will help you feel less lost. This is also a source of motivation for you to maintain your belief in your own journey.
Remember that getting married for the right person, at the right time will be many times more valuable than getting married at the right age.
