Meaning-making is the human process of interpreting experiences, often leading to misperceptions that cause distress. This is evident in situations like throwing up, where anticipatory dread enhances suffering. Similarly, in relationships, desire discrepancy frequently results in negative self-assessments and societal misconceptions. Higher desire partners may feel unattractive or undesired, while lower desire partners might view themselves as inadequate or broken. This negativity stems from societal beliefs about sex and desire, despite discrepancy being common and often expectable in relationships.
Meaning-making often leads individuals to negative interpretations of their experiences, especially in the context of sexual desire discrepancies, creating unnecessary suffering and confusion.
Many people struggle with desire discrepancies in relationships, leading to self-doubt and negative assumptions about their worth and desirability based on societal misconceptions.
