Scientists point out, love is the culprit that makes people blind or towards' pieces

Scientists point out, love is the culprit that makes people blind or towards the worst "puzzle piece" .

Love always has certain effects on the human body from emotions, thoughts, to actions, although sometimes we don't realize it. Some scientific and psychological studies have concluded that changes in the brain when love reduces the ability to reason in each person besides creating something called "the magic of love".

Let's come to the "harm" created by love according to the information from Cracked page below.

1. Love makes people blind

Surely many people have witnessed a girl, or boy with 'the other half' very bad. That 'half' can be very rude, promiscuous, even addicted, but no matter how much a friend or relative advises, insiders always find ways to protect the person they love. These are the cases that are considered 'blind love' - they really can't see the bad points of their lovers.

Some studies show that we should sympathize with them because there is a special area in the brain - the frontal lobe - responsible for assessing and judging this judgment.

This area lights up when a person needs to make a decision about something in normal conditions. But when being 'drunk like a person', the area was 'dark as night 30', making it difficult for people to make an accurate decision.

Scientists explain, this biological mechanism is a result of evolution. The human body thinks that the "temporary blindness" of the judgmental brain can help people "lower the standard" in choosing a mate, making the human race not perish. However, this is probably also the culprit that many people suffer because of love.

2. We often aim for the 'piece' . the worst

When choosing 'the other half', many people often look for people with similar personalities and interests, but end up "dumping" in front of a person . completely opposite. This can be considered bad choices, but from a scientific perspective, we will not be able to do anything because it is the reaction of love chemistry.

Specifically, it is the change of sex hormones in the body. The phenomenon of 'opposing attraction' occurs in people who excel in estrogen - a tendency to be gentle to people with dominant testosterone - often strong, and vice versa.

For example, a girl who cares and cares for others may love a rebellious guy, or a controlled, authoritarian person who falls in love with those who are docile and gentle.

According to psychologists, these people are unconsciously trying to balance the shortcomings of their character, like the yin and yang relationship of East Asia. However, these types of relationships often bring problems, such as the precipious couple effect, to oxytocin.

This effect is about women who speak loudly, or criticize 'pairing' with introverted men. These couples have a poor outcome, some even hated each other.

So the question is how do they get together? That is due to the 'opposing attraction' mentioned above - they seek complementarity. For example, a little guy said he would see an attractive cartoon girl, because if she kept talking, he would not have to speak anymore and feel more comfortable. Conversely, a girl who talks a lot will like those who listen to her.

3. Love makes people 'talk more'

According to some statistics, most people who have social communication problems will become animated, sometimes "talk more" when there is "love". That is confidence due to the feeling of "having a lover".

Scientists have further approached this issue. Accordingly, when dating people you like, the body will produce ' oxytocin ' love hormones - hormones that appear when feeling romantic or orgasmic.

The presence of oxytocin causes people to become in tune, helping them feel the most subtle signals of the body, namely the opposite body language. Ironically, however, you can only get 'cheesy chemicals' when and only if you 'saw' one person.

In addition, oxytocin has the potential to provide therapeutic efficacy for patients with social disorders such as autism. However, only those who were previously really poor in social orientation worked. If the patient has previously been a vigorous, energetic person, it is impossible to feel anything as he continues to be such a person and sometimes "speaks more" .

4. Love makes you see things become so sweet

Since ancient times, love has always been associated with the sweetness of love songs, letters, or romantic poems. Even in language - like English - words like 'honey' - honey, or 'sugar', 'sweetie' - sugar is also used to call the person you love.

This relationship awakens the curiosity of scientists to find the scientific solution behind it. Some researchers in Singapore have learned about this, by asking three groups of students to write an essay - a group writing about a romantic experience in their own love; one group writes about jealousy and the other group writes about whatever they like.

All students then received a sweet, bitter chocolate, and were asked about the sweetness of the candy bar. The results showed that the group of students writing about the love experience evaluated the chocolate sweeter than the other two groups.

The researchers then re-performed the experiment on a new group, but this time, they asked the students to taste and evaluate the sweetness of a new soft drink - essentially just mineral water. The results show the same thing, when the group writes about the romantic experience of evaluating soft drink bottles over the rest of the groups.

Scientists believe that, when immersed in the sweetness of love, our brains are mistaken. When thinking about love and romance, the area responsible for brain prediction and reward is activated (this is also the active area when we taste sugar). The brain sends a 'sweet feel' message, no matter what we're eating. Maybe this is why people often associate love with sweetness, because it is simply 'sweeter' when they love.

However, experts recommend that if you always look at life with "pink glasses" or wish to live "like a movie" it can be counterproductive. It will make you have "illusions" , no longer trying to build love.
