Gyasi Alexander utilizes TikTok for "yap sessions" focusing on vulnerable topics, including his experience with yearning after a significant relationship. Yearning is described as an intense, prolonged emotional connection, distinct from love. The concept of yearning is gaining traction on social media, with significant increases in conversations and search interest. Vanessa Green suggests ways to practice yearning, emphasizing the importance of noticing small gestures to express care. The phenomenon is also reflected on dating apps, indicating a broader cultural shift towards this form of emotional expression.
"Yearning is a little bit different from love in that it's more intense. It feels like you're constantly reaching for more. Like, you deeply care about a person and want them to know how much you care about them."
"According to Keywords Everywhere, interest around the topic of yearning has increased 102 percent in search volume and 67 percent in social conversation over the past two years."
"For anyone wanting to get in on the trend, you too, can learn the art of the yearn. Noticing the small things is very tried and true."
