In this world full of complexities, memorable experiences that shape our personalities as well as our destinies abound. But how about when you are hit with this special affection? You face a dilemma! Is it infatuation? Love? or lust?
The signs and symptoms of infatuation are the feelings of insecurity, panic, impatience, concupiscence, excitement and sometimes jealousy.
When we are hit with what is known as infatuation, we feel a sudden wave of sensation, causing us to thrill. There are certain doubts and hesitations about the person we are infatuated with and their love for us. Sometimes we feel unhappy when they’re away and seems like our day is incomplete if were not with them. It’s always an intense feeling that we have difficulty to concentrate in the things we do. So do any of these signs and symptoms resemble the feelings of love? Not quite. Then why do we feel infatuation? It’s biologically acquired, perhaps. Luckily its intense nature is just passing and short-lived.
According to some research for facts, it says infatuation occurs when we see someone we feel special about, we experience a surge of dopamine that rushes through the brain causing us to feel good. Norepinephrine flows through the brain stimulating production of adrenaline (pounding heart). Phenylethamine (found in chocolate) creates a feeling of bliss. Irrational romantic sentiments maybe caused by oxytocin, a primary sexual arousal hormone that signals feeling of emotional attachment. Together these chemicals sometimes override the brain activity that governs logic. The body can build up tolerances to these chemicals so it takes move of the substance to get the feeling of infatuation. People who jump from relationship to relationship, maybe, crave the intoxicating effects of these substance and maybe “infatuation junkies”. When the chemical flood dries up, the relationship either moves into a loving romantic one or there is disillusionment, and the relationship ends.
We always meet people with different personalities. They may come and go in our lives but it is in us to decide on who stays. Just keep in mind to choose carefully, especially the one who we really want to stay with forever. Infatuation is normal, but we must scrutinize everything first before entering into a relationship because the consequences are at stake. God made each of us a beautiful love story, so we just have to wait and work for it to come true. We must use our heads while we trust our hearts. It is in our decisions that our destiny lies. Think of it!
damn! domz, you hit me again with your words… like it! keep it up.
