Reduced Stress
When the brain releases those love drugs and chemicals in the body, it makes us feel so good. Oxytocin and dopamine do wonderful things for mood and mental disposition. They make us feel less stressed, improve our outlook on life and generally calm the body.
Bad Judgment
It turns out that there is a reason the majority of people completely lose sight of reason when in love. When you are actively in love, your brain hits snooze on its components that help you sense danger and make good decisions, like the frontal lobe and the amygdala.
Addiction to Love
With all of the positive feelings associated with being in love, it can be easy to want more and more of it. If you are constantly getting hits of dopamine and oxytocin when interacting with or thinking about your person, it’s not too hard to see why some people become addicted to love.
