Questioning Love
- It's healthy to question if you're truly in love.
- Don't just assume you should "just know" without thinking critically.
Infatuation vs. Love
- Initial infatuation is driven by dopamine and reduced serotonin, creating a pleasurable, obsessive feeling.
- This intense feeling is often mistaken for lasting love, but it's just a chemical cocktail.
Mature Love and Oxytocin
- After the initial infatuation phase, serotonin levels normalize, and oxytocin increases.
- Oxytocin is associated with a calmer, more mature love that strengthens bonds and improves health.
