Does love (on a scientific level) cloud our judgement as if we were crazy? Firstly, I am not trying to devalue love. I am asking for factual responses as well as any personal beliefs. Someone once told me that when you are "in love" the chemicals/hormones in your body/brain work in such a way that the impairment of one's judgement could almost be classified as a form of insanity. He is not a doctor but if you have felt love you understand the true power of those feelings. They can be the best or worst things. (due to the mental/brain power one gives, subconsciencely, to these feelings) Juliet killed herself over Romeo?
Love clouds your judgment and makes you do things you would never do in your right mind. Love will make you blind to anything bad about the person, I was actually having a conversation about this earlier with my best friend. It will make you completely overlook all the warning signs that the person is trouble and will hurt you in the end. It also makes you drive a thousand miles just to give your love a hug and look in their eyes. Love makes you think of them all day without a reason or a rhyme. It makes you smile at people walking in the street. It makes you want to die when the person is not around. It makes your heart ache and makes you pace the house. Love makes you cry. Love is insanity.
Yeah, kinda... the falling in love/lust stage... Real love (which is what I consider long lasting love after the chemicals settle down)- not so much so.
Lucky, you know your my friend, and i dont mean to be rude to say this, but maybe youve never been in "real love" ? I only say this because even when I thought I was in love before, for 3 years my judgement was clouded and I made decisions based on what I thought was love, when really it was my own insecurity of losing someone that I felt I needed in my life. And if fake love can make you do all that, I can only imagine how funny real love would leave me acting
No, I really do love my husband- when I think about a state of insanity I think of doing irrational things or things you shouldn't.... and I know my husband and I love each other so much to not require those types of things from each other... if that even makes any sense. Maybe we just saw the question differently, but no offense was taken.
I think I understand ya And thanks for understanding my comment, I was hoping not to offend. Its just that with me, I know that when I am carzy about a girl, I am literally crazy :tongue:
Yeah, no problem. And I do know what you mean- I'm still crazy about my husband but more in a more subtle way but I've been with him for eight years- I know the first couple years it was different because it was new but it's actually BETTER now then it was then- just different.....
I want to be in love, but there are so few lovable people around. I have been loved a lot more than I have been in love. Truly.
love...ah...shitty topic but no it's just my shitty mood... well love is not an illness or smthing it's just a state...feelings damn feelings
Sometimes it feels pretty insane indeed. Especially when you look back on yourself just after you were in love. I kinda like it though
Love is when you stick around even after all the condoms are gone and your too tired to pull out and just get a blowjob
feeling love isn't insanity any more than any other hormone or brain-chemical altering state of being. is anger insanity, too? is loneliness insanity? how about contentment? happiness? all of these things alter your behavior and mental processes, they all affect your decision-making processes. though the addition of the sexual attraction could very well make it more addictive in the short term.
