What is infatuation? How does it differ from "true love"? There are some feelings we have when infatuated that we should not be experiencing when we’re feeling love. Some of the “symptoms” of infatuation are; feelings of panic, uncertainty, overpowering lust, feverish excitement, impatience, and/or jealousy.
When infatuated 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). Phenylethalimine (found in chocolate) creates a feeling of bliss. Irrational romantic sentiments may be caused by oxytocin, a primary sexual arousal hormone that signals orgasm and feelings of emotional attachment.
Do any of these feelings indicate "true love"? Not really. So why do we become infatuated? Is it biological? Do you seek these feelings over and over looking to recreate the "high" you achieve with infatuation? Those are sure signs that you are becoming an "Infatuation Junkie"!
The show tonight will look at these symptoms and discuss ways we can move past the feelings of infatuation into a loving relationship.
