Psychological facts about human behavior

1. Three love components
Love is indeed an indescribable emotion; however, Dr. Helen Fischer divides it into three parts: attraction, lust, and attachment. The brain processes these three emotions together when you are deeply in love with someone.

2. Love changes you
Are you not the same person you were before you fell in love? That is natural. Being in love alters our personality and perception of things. We can become more open to things that our lover is into, or we may even become more optimistic about things.
3. Love affects bonding with others
Love involves the release of the “happy hormone,” dopamine. This hormone gives you a high that makes you feel positive and open to bonding with others. You will find yourself not only open to bonding with your partner but also establishing stronger connections with everyone in your life
4. Love makes you brave
Love leads to the deactivation of the amygdala in the brain, which regulates fear. Thus, you are less scared of outcomes and consequences when in love. You experience a fearlessness and bravery that you wouldn’t usually feel. 
5. Love under control
Research shows that people can manage their love for someone. For example, by forcing yourself to think about all the negative aspects of their personality, you can decrease the love, while thinking about the positives would increase it.
6. Love and overall well-being
Experiencing love on an everyday basis has been proven to contribute to the overall psychological well-being of a person. They are more optimistic, motivated, and inspired to do better.
7. Lust and love
Comparing love and lust reveals that there are overlapping sensations that make it hard to distinguish between the two. They can be seen on the same spectrum, where love expands with these responses with habit formation and expectancy of reciprocity.
8. Romantic desire in the brain
People feel their attraction towards someone based on the activity in specific areas of their brain. Sometimes this judgment can take a couple of seconds, while sometimes it takes longer.
