INFATUATION vs. LOVE (short thread)

INFATUATION you don't see the other in its totality. The object of our infatuation acts as a screen in which we project our ideals. In some cases the other person doesn't have anything to do with it.

LOVE accepting the other person AS-IS, …
LOVE accepting the other person AS-IS. Not in denial of the loved one's imperfections, but fully aware and in spite of them.

INFATUATION 29 areas of the brain are activated.

LOVE 16 to 12 areas of the brain are activated.
The Chemistry of Love

1- DOPAMINE excitement, emotion
2- OXYTOCIN attachements
3- VASOPRESSIN jealousy
4- SEX STEROIDS modulators
5- ENDORPHINS generate addiction
6- ENDOCANNABINOIDS change perception of reality, calm us down, get us into REM sleep
7- NORADRENALINE stimulant
8- SEROTONIN obsession
9- NITRIC OXIDE makes us learn
10- GROWTH FACTORS increases connectivity in between neurons

Love is a Biophysical Process of synchronization.

"Love" triggers the same areas in the brain as addiction.
