It appears that the subject of affection ne'er fails to draw attention. He said, falling love may be a million feels. The sensation of love is commonly mentioned as a "heart problem" that arises attributable to attraction. Everybody often says that falling in love happens from the eyes all the way down to the heart. However is it extremely the heart that's answerable for the emergence of feelings of attraction and attachment once falling in love? Is that the heart conjointly responsible for the fluttering, overwhelming feeling of happiness that happens once you fall in love?

Love is produced by this organ

In fact not, the foremost necessary organ that works once the sensation of falling taken arrives is the neural structure of the brain. It's true that love could be a matter of the center, however the heart has no actual form or physical location. What we frequently seek advice from because the heart is solely the mental manifestation of consciousness, memories, thoughts, feelings, imagination, personality, etc., that arise as a result of a mix of electrical impulses and chemical fluctuations in our brain.

The heart or what some individuals decide the 'soul', isn't within the chest, however in the cranium. We have a tendency to feel a lightweight cool chest after we fall taken with and a decent chest when we are broken as a result of the brain producing stress hormones that have an effect on the performance and rhythm of the heart. That is why, conditions that are terribly positive or very negative like a shot provide a bound sensation in the chest.

We additionally should usually feel confused regarding what happens to America once we fall infatuated, of course folks often say, "falling in love makes one go crazy." Therefore, what really happens to a human's physical condition after they fall in love?

The concept of love

First, concerning the which means of affection, consistent with psychology, love may be a variety of feelings every individual will have. Its nature is additionally a lot subjective as a result of the meaning of love from each individual can disagree from each other betting on the expertise and appreciation they have. Love is a person's positive behavior/activity towards other objects within the form of self-sacrifice, empathy, attention, affection, consequences, obedience, and a disposition to try to do whatever the object wants.

However, in step with a scientific view, love will be understood as a chemical change within the undergarments that aims at reproduction, thus it will return and go rather like that once that goal is achieved, particularly if we do not perceive however the chemistry plays out. Love isn't one emotion, however a group of feelings from 3 systems of lust, attraction, and attachment that have evolved over many thousands of years. The human brain generates love through these three circuits. If there's a disturbance in this circuit, then the person will expertise disturbances in expressing, enjoying, undergoing a love relationship.

(Fall) Love Process

1. Infatuated

When we're infatuated with someone, two neurotransmitter compounds, norepinephrine and phenylethylamine (PEA), flood and hijack our brains. This causes us to stay up late, talking or chatting with each other incessantly, thinking about each other 24 hours a day, and so on.

According to Watershed Counseling Associates, the interesting thing about limerence is the belief that only certain people can create this process in our brains. Researcher John Gottman in his work, Principia Amoris, says that we have to smell a date (crush) and feel that he is the right person to activate a flood of neurotransmitters in our brains. In different words, not everyone can cause this process and need some special things that only a "special" person has to make us crazy about him/her.

2. Interested in each other

The attraction phase begins when we begin to change our mind about a particular person. Sometimes we obsess over them and start thinking about them all the time.

During this phase, the hormones dopamine and adrenaline present in our body are accelerated, giving us an extraordinary sensation where our body feels as if it is being flooded with powerful energy. Although it is often considered trivial and distinct from the process of falling in love, psychologists actually consider attraction to be one of the most important stages in the falling in love process. They say that we really need this process to connect and connect with others, step by step.

The process of attraction is almost the same as when we see a partner as  absolutely perfect. "Love has to be blind," says Ellen Berscheid, a leading researcher in the field of love psychology, for it to work, in the sense that we have to see our partner as perfect, at least for a while. Many people may be disappointed when this phase ends, but experts say that this very important phase should be enjoyed and more importantly, we should make it a bridge to the next phase.

3. Share affection

Affection is the last phase of the process developed by Dr. Helen Fisher described infatuation cycle. When this cycle is complete, we will connect with our partner on the deepest level of love.

According to Psychology Today,  during this stage, hormones like dopamine and adrenaline begin to wane and are then  replaced by the "cuddle hormone" oxytocin and the "monogamy hormone" vasopressin, which  give us a sense of relaxation, or perhaps an impulse to have children with a partner to have.

Throughout life, compassion is always present in our lives as an expression of love. In childhood, our family and friends are the people who are closest to us. Of course, this changes as different people come and go in  our lives, eventually culminating in a cycle of romantic love.

4. Internalization

The father of world psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, was very sure when he described the process of internalization in the process of falling in love. Starting from the Psych Central page, through internalization we will add the people we love and care about within ourselves and in the end they will become a part of us.

Internalization is a very powerful part of the  romantic love process that will further strengthen the human bond, even if we are often unaware of it. At this point, a person's beliefs, values, thoughts, actions, behaviors, and other things will conform to us. In short, "we" will merge with "them".

Besides Freud, another 19th-century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, saw this process as a source of great power for us. In his book On the Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche says that the instinctive human impulse likes to add foreign things that it considers important. If we don't use it as "fuel" for projects in our personal lives,  "they" will slowly seep in and become a part of us.

By going through the internalization process, two different people will intersect and create a unified whole of ideas, thoughts, passions, hopes and dreams with which to build a life for the present and the future.

Facts about falling in love

1. It's healthy to fall in love

When you are in love, your body activates the chemicals dopamine and oxytocin. These two chemicals  make a person's brain feel happy, delighted, and valued. Directly, even conditions like these can reduce the stress and pain  experienced by the body. This condition can make people affected physically and mentally healthy.

2. Food tastes delicious

People who are in love  respond positively to something because their feelings tend to be flowery. The chemicals and hormones in the body  associated with happiness are also  active when you are in love.

Research has shown that mood and thoughts affect the taste of the food or drink you eat. People who fall in love usually have a sweet taste  in the food and drink they eat. On the contrary, heartbroken people  will feel that food and drink have a bitter taste  in their mouth. Through this research, scientists can also  scientifically discover behavioral patterns and moods  so powerful they can affect the sense of taste like the tongue.

3. Time can fade love, can't it?

In fact, love can last a long time. It's just that the form of love shown will change over time. These different forms of love can be caused by changes in hormones in the brain. The hormone dopamine  predominates at the beginning of a love relationship, while the hormone oxytocin predominates.

According to the 2009  General Psychology Review, love is more passionate in the early stages of a romance  (passionate love). That is, this form of love is more passionate and filled with the desire to have each other completely.

Meanwhile, in a love relationship that has existed for a long time, their nature becomes sincere love (compassionate love). This form of love is more about small everyday behaviors that make you both  feel comfortable. In summary, love can still exist, but the form will change to be less conspicuous.

4. A Psychological Relaxation

Falling in love is a clinical-psychological process that causes the body to respond by releasing dopamine. After that, the body  also produces PEA (phenylethylamine), which makes you focus on paying attention to the details of the person you love.

This is why a person can sometimes smile and laugh to themselves without realizing it  because  dopamine and PEA levels are high in the body. On a normal level, falling in love can be viewed as psychological relaxation where it can keep mental health in good shape.

This is an explanation of love that often confuses us, love is not only a psychological state but also a biological state that we all definitely feel. Love is a complex and dynamic feeling. We hope this article can help you understand more about the process of falling in love and approach those feelings with greater maturity.
