Lying flatism is a trending philosophy that has emerged in China and is practiced by young adults who choose to live a minimalist lifestyle and reject the pressures of society. Lying flatists refuse to participate in consumerist lifestyles, such as pursuing high-paying jobs, purchasing material possessions, getting married, or having children. They believe that personal efforts are no longer effective in improving their lives due to structural and societal factors.

I've had my heart broken three times in my adult life. Each time it took years of therapy and emotional work to get back to a point where I didn't feel the ache and the loss.

You couldn't pay me to get into another relationship, not when it's taken so much work to find peace and contentment on my own.
