In a modern society where self-care is emphasized, many people—especially younger generations—find great relief in canceling social plans, viewing it as a justified act of self-preservation. This trend, reflected in a June 2022 YouGov survey, highlights a disconnect between personal needs and commitments, with a high percentage of young adults often unhappy about their planned engagements. However, experts warn that consistently backing out of plans without consideration for others can negatively impact relationships and social interactions, suggesting a balance between self-care and responsibility towards others is essential.
"In terms of like instant relief, canceling plans is like heroin. It is an amazing feeling."
"Everything is good in moderation. As it turns out, that applies to backing out of the plans we make with other people."
