New love science
The current, most
talked about movie in B Town “Kabir Singh” has received mixed review from
viewers and critics.
Kabir Singh is
just a guy deeply in love, who gets obsessive, aggressive, who would go to any extreme
for his girl. But isn’t that how love works or rather love science functions.
Just the way, since
the time Rihanna saw Zishaan playing his guitar and singing her favorite song,
she couldn’t stop thinking about him. Whether she is sleeping or awake, Zishaan
was in her mind.
Her daydreaming
was getting worse and worse day by day, she failed to focus on smallest of
things.
It happens to all
of us when we are in that “in love” phase, it’s a unique stage. Sometimes we
cannot string enough words to explain the experience called love, particularly
new love. The world seems perfect and the heart skips a beat at everything
beautiful, the air smells nice, the food tastes better and what not. But have
you ever wondered what makes you feel so? Is it magic or is it just hormones?
When you're in love, you begin to
think your beloved is unique and best. The belief is coupled with an inability
to feel romantic passion for anyone else. According to Dr. Fisher, this
single-mindedness results from elevated levels of central dopamine — a chemical
involved in attention and focus — in your brain.
Also falling in love often leads to
emotional and physiological instability. You bounce between exhilaration,
euphoria, increased energy, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, trembling, a
racing heart and accelerated breathing, as well as anxiety, panic and feelings
of despair when your relationship suffers even the smallest setback. These mood
swings parallel the behavior of drug addicts. And indeed, when in-love people
are shown pictures of their loved ones, it fires up the same regions of the
brain that activate when a drug addict takes a hit.
Being in love, researchers say, is a form of addiction.
People who are in love report that
they spend, on average, more than 85 percent of their waking hours thoughtful
over their "love object," according to Dr. Fisher.
Intrusive thinking, as this form of
obsessive behavior, it may result from decreased levels of central serotonin
in the brain, a condition that has been associated with obsessive behavior.
When one is deeply in love,
experience sexual desire for their beloved, but there are strong emotional
strings attached. The longing for sex is coupled with possessiveness, a desire
for sexual exclusivity, and extreme jealousy.
We all know the
difference between the first phase of being in love and the phase that comes
much later—in a long-term relationship or being settled for life. According to
a study published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, a team of scientists
argued that romantic love is somewhat like the biological urge of hunger for
food rather than just sexual needs.
Love is impossibly imperfect. Just like Kabir Singh is flawed but still
most loved.
Love is not a substitute for reality,
nor does it ask you to live in a more fantastic version of it because love
lives real life. And in real life, love knows, there are good days and bad
days. Love gets through all of them, sometimes with style and happiness, other
times with angst and bitterness. But it gets through.
Love is beautiful.
