Intermittent Reward System
Logan Ury describes a system where rewards come unpredictably, keeping people engaged despite uncertainty.
“Parfois, vous obtenez ce que vous voulez. Parfois, non. Alors vous continuez d'essayer encore et encore”
Why This Pattern Persists
People stay hooked on relationships with toxic men because the uncertainty provides temporary excitement.
“Une étude publiée dans Psychological Science avait ainsi montré que des femmes étaient davantage attirées par des hommes lorsqu'elles ne savaient pas à quel point ceux-ci les appréciaient”
Healthy Relationships Avoid This
Healthy relationships maintain stable interest without the unpredictable patterns of toxic men.
“Dans une relation saine, l'intérêt est stable et continu”
When to Seek Help
If someone feels excitement from irregular attention, ask whether it's the person or the relief of their return.
“est-ce réellement cette personne qui nous attire autant, ou le soulagement que nous ressentons chaque fois qu'elle revient”
