We have an interesting metaphor to understand the importance of being emotionally ready and timing in building a serious relationship.
00:09
And to understand and understand the taxicab metaphor, or what they call taxicab theory,
00:16
we will be joined by Zoom by psychologist and content creator, Rian Portuguese.
00:22
Good morning and welcome Rian here in Rise and Shine Philippines.
00:26
Hi Rian, welcome back to us.
00:28
Thank you everyone, hello.
00:30
At your millennial site on TikTok, welcome back to RSP, Rian.
00:34
Alright, to understand more, what is this taxicab metaphor?
00:39
What does this theory mean, Rian?
00:44
For those who are listening, this is clearly a metaphor, it's not scientific.
00:50
It came from a popular series, Sex and the City,
00:53
where men are asked, just like in a taxi, when they are available,
01:00
you will know when their lights are turned on or off.
01:04
So it has something to do with whether they are committed to being available,
01:09
or if this is the time for them.
01:11
So we can see that in popular social media.
01:15
Based on the metaphor, a taxicab has lights.
01:20
When will you know if a person is available and ready for a serious relationship?
01:29
Thank you so much for the question.
01:31
What I will share is not necessarily connected to the taxicab theory.
01:36
Because there are things that are said there,
01:39
that if a person is available, just like in a taxi,
01:45
you will know when their lights are turned on or off.
01:51
So if a person is willing to help them, they will be welcomed.
01:56
It's like that in the taxicab theory.
01:58
But in general, in a healthy relationship,
02:01
we can say that a person is available when he is ready to commit.
02:05
When we say commitment, it's inclusive that he has time and he is available.
02:12
And when we say that he is available or ready to commit,
02:16
it also means that there is a risk that he might get hurt.
02:20
But because he is ready to commit,
02:23
he has more hope or a positive outlook on what will happen in the relationship.
02:28
So he will take a risk for that person, for the possibility that they will be together.
02:34
So when you are ready to get hurt,
02:36
we can say that you are available or you have time or you can commit to a relationship.
02:43
So we can say that you are emotionally ready.
02:47
Okay, so Rhian, what you're saying is that,
02:49
what is the timing?
02:51
It's not really necessary if I'm ready,
02:54
this is who I will marry or what.
02:56
The decision that you are committed to the relationship is important.
03:00
Yeah, yes.
03:02
So that's what we are looking at,
03:04
the decision of this person,
03:06
if he will be with her,
03:09
he can see that they have the same values,
03:11
there is a shared commitment, there is a shared values.
03:14
So we can see that.
03:16
So the toxic love metaphor,
03:18
that is really being criticized,
03:22
because it's like the metaphor that is spreading on social media,
03:25
it's like they are trying to convince that,
03:27
for example, they are in a long-term relationship.
03:31
Then that person who is not in a relationship,
03:34
who is looking for a new person,
03:36
he will marry her right away.
03:38
So they say that it's a toxic love theory,
03:40
because whoever is available at that time, he will marry her.
03:42
But that's why it's being criticized,
03:44
because it's like you didn't give a chance to a person,
03:47
it's like the judgment of a person,
03:49
that he got married to a person who is available at that time,
03:52
you feel that he got married because he is available.
03:55
But of course, even if you are from a long-term relationship,
03:58
because a lot of things happened there,
04:00
you can see the difference in a person,
04:03
you know yourself, what are the values that you want,
04:06
what are the things that you want in a relationship.
04:09
That's why sometimes the relationship doesn't work,
04:11
no matter how long it is,
04:13
if you already have a person,
04:15
even if it's not that long,
04:17
your relationship is still too much,
04:19
but you feel that you are comfortable,
04:21
there are shared values, there is a shared commitment,
04:23
you visualize it in the future,
04:25
even if it hurts the ex of that person,
04:27
you still want to marry that person.
04:29
So in short, there is a decision that I really like this,
04:31
I am available, I have time,
04:33
and I can commit for this person.
04:35
That's why it's being criticized,
04:37
that toxic metaphor,
04:39
because it's like,
04:41
you don't see the explanation of other people,
04:44
why they decide,
04:46
to the people they married,
04:48
they replaced you.
04:50
I still remember the saying,
04:52
you're building a man or a woman for another person,
04:55
you've been together for a long time,
04:57
but he chose a different person in the end.
04:59
It's like that.
05:01
It happens to celebrities.
05:03
Yes, there are many like that.
05:05
But to make the explanation more complicated,
05:07
and for our viewers to understand better,
05:09
can you give us a scenario,
05:11
where this metaphor is applicable?
05:19
Yes, that's what our host said earlier,
05:21
that you are toxic of theory,
05:23
that you are toxic of theory,
05:25
when,
05:27
no matter how long you've been in a relationship,
05:29
you didn't finish it,
05:31
it's like you built it for another person.
05:33
So no matter how long you've been together,
05:35
there's a time,
05:37
even if there's availability,
05:39
or even if you're committing at that time,
05:41
when you broke up,
05:43
there's another person who came,
05:45
that's where he got married.
05:47
So they said, that's toxic of theory.
05:49
But we don't see the nuances,
05:51
of that person getting married to that person,
05:53
or committing to the next person.
05:57
So toxic of theory,
05:59
that's how people see it in social media,
06:01
that there's no time,
06:03
that there's no availability,
06:05
that there's no commitment,
06:07
that whoever he feels will replace you,
06:09
he will replace you whenever he wants.
06:11
So that's their perspective
06:13
on toxic of theory.
06:15
But we don't evaluate
06:17
that kind of metaphor,
06:19
because people have their own reasons
06:21
on why they commit more.
06:23
No matter how long you've been together,
06:25
even if you broke up,
06:27
even if there's availability,
06:29
there's a time,
06:31
that he might have seen,
06:33
that he might have lost from you,
06:35
because there's a time,
06:37
what works for you, what doesn't.
06:39
So sometimes, long term relationships,
06:41
sometimes it doesn't work,
06:43
because there are differences,
06:45
or there are things that can't be worked out.
06:47
So it's not because it didn't work,
06:49
that the relationship totally failed.
06:51
We can look at it as an opportunity
06:53
to see who's the right person for us,
06:55
just like how a person found,
06:57
for example, your ex,
06:59
the right person for him.
07:01
So there it is.
07:03
There, well explained.
07:05
But there are bigger reasons
07:07
why I chose this person.
07:09
It's not just about timing.
07:11
Thank you very much.
07:13
Thank you again for joining us
07:15
here on Rise and Shine Philippines.
