What does it mean to “romanticize” in modern-day vernacular? And is oversharing on social media the most unromantic thing of all?
To "romanticize" something in modern-day vernacular means to idealize or exaggerate the positive qualities of something, often in a way that is unrealistic or impractical. For example, someone might romanticize a particular place, person, or era in history, creating an idealized version of it in their mind that doesn't necessarily reflect reality.
