At first glance, it seems that there is nothing dangerous about nostalgia.
After all, memories of the past always give a pleasant feeling of longing, as well as a feeling that things were better before than they are now.
However, frequent immersion in nostalgia can cause significant harm to the psyche.
What kind of harm are we talking about? The second part of our material revealed the answer to this question in detail.
Suffocating stagnation
Memories of the past can make a person less willing to strive for change and explore the unknown.
Getting stuck in a comfort zone usually means a lack of development and the accompanying dissatisfaction with life.
Over-idealization
When we begin to idealize this or that phenomenon from the past, we thereby set ourselves up for a dismissive attitude towards modern trends.
This is dangerous because it leaves you unable to see the shortcomings and start striving for something new and possibly better.
Loss of authenticity
Most often, the loss of authenticity is caused by mass media workers who create content similar to that which was observed several years ago.
The absence of novelty simply cannot have a beneficial effect on creativity.
