El solipsismo del amor : incidencia del capitalismo y los discursos socioculturales en el desencuentro amoroso de los jóvenes.

Abstract

The present research work addressed romantic mismatches among young people. This investigation is significant as it highlights topics such as youthful love from a contemporary perspective, where young individuals experience discomfort around the subject, problematizing being alone, along with the comfort and fear that comes with it. The objective was to analyze the impact of sociocultural discourses, capitalism, and solipsistic enjoyment on young people's romantic mismatches through psychological, psychoanalytic, and social perspectives, to generate reflection on the issue. To this end, a qualitative approach was used with a descriptive method, based on a theoretical analysis along with the creation of a focus group of young people aged 19-21. The findings showed that the idea of being alone frightens even those who claim to feel comfortable in solitude, a matter that is an effect of capitalism and social discourse. Likewise, current arguments about romantic relationships emphasize the existence of a disconnect among young people. While some want to experience love as a couple but fear getting hurt, others crush the illusion by pointing out how unsuitable it is to have a partner in a world dominated by instability and a lack of commitment.
