💨 Abstract

The article discusses the "chair theory," a viral concept suggesting that people who truly value you will offer support without being asked, likening it to offering a chair when you're tired or overwhelmed. Influencer Nardose Mesfin popularized this idea, which resonated with many people reflecting on their relationships. However, psychologist Dr. Madeleine Roantree cautions that while the theory highlights important emotional truths, it oversimplifies relationship dynamics.
