INFATUATION vs. LOVE (short thread)

INFATUATION you don& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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.
