What is a "companion"?

1. A new social relationship partner (Dazi) was originally put on people's shoulders. The so-called "partner" of the younger generation Z is a new social relationship: two or more people who have the same hobbies or needs at a certain moment or in a certain field can carry out some activities together regularly. They describe their partners as being shallower than friends, heavier than colleagues or classmates, and focusing on precise companionship in a vertical subdivision. A partner is not necessarily a person, but also a group of people. The relationship with them may be one-off or long-term. When we get along with our partner, we don't need to spend time and energy to maintain the relationship like friends, and we don't need to participate in each other's life completely and truly. They often only appear in specific occasions, such as "meal partners" in scenes such as dining and shop exploration; "Learning partners" often appear in various examinations such as postgraduate entrance examination, public examination, and teaching examination funds; "Game Partner" appears in the glory of the king, the original god, Jedi survival and other games; "idolized partners" often appear on the Amway stage and among fans of the same idol ... it can be said that everything can be matched. Second, the "fast-food friendship" in the Internet age With the rapid development of the Internet and the continuous derivation of social software, this special solution has emerged: only in-depth discussion in the field of interest, not accepting interference and interference outside interest, and even not connecting with real life. They have the same needs and hobbies, and they also have a tacit sense of boundary. The appearance of partners not only meets the social needs and interest needs of young people, but also downplays the basic costs of maintaining relationships such as time, energy and emotion. "Do you want to have dinner together? It seems very good to open a new store downstairs. " "Let's travel to Hainan for a few days on May Day!" "There was a concert recently. Would you like to go together? " ..... the happiness of your partner is direct and simple. Some people say that a partner is like a "fast-food friendship" in the Internet age. It is a fragmented friendship and a "flat version" of intimate relationship. Although the nutritional value is not high, it can be "full" and convenient. We don't need to expect our partners to agree with us, nor do we need to be harmonious with each other, let alone pay extra. We just need to keep in touch with them in areas of interest. In addition, the existence of a partner does not affect our search for a "soul mate" or the establishment of other intimate relationships. What's more, when two people are comfortable with this relationship, their partners may "upgrade" into other intimate relationships and become friends or lovers.
